Designing a Western blot for FOXA1? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the FOXA1 Western Blot GuideFacts about Hepatocyte nuclear factor 3-alpha.
Binds DNA using the consensus sequence 5'-[AC]A[AT]T[AG]TT[GT][AG][CT]T[CT]-3' (By similarity). Proposed to play a role in translating the epigenetic signatures into cell type-specific enhancer-driven transcriptional programs.
