Product Specific Information

For reconstitution, add 100 µL distilled water to obtain a final antibody concentration of about 1 mg/mL.
For conjugation experiments, perform an additional desalting step (e.g., Zeba Spin Desalting Columns, 7K MWCO, 0.5 mL, Product #89882).

Target Information

FOXP3 (Forkhead box protein 3) is a member of the forkhead/winged-helix family of transcriptional regulators, highly conserved across mammals and essential for normal immune homeostasis.
FOXP3 is 381 amino acids long, expressed at high levels in CD25⁺ CD4⁺ regulatory T cells, low levels in CD4⁺/CD25⁻ cells, and absent in CD4⁻/CD8⁺ T cells.
It may function as a master regulatory gene and serve as a specific marker of regulatory T cells.
Defects in FOXP3 cause the scurfy phenotype in mice and are associated with IPEX syndrome (immune dysfunction, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked syndrome) in humans.
Transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. In human breast and colon cancer cells, FOXP3 expression is regulated by p53 in response to DNA damage.
