Product Specific Information

MA5-14662 targets FOXP3 in IF, IHC (P), IP, and WB applications and shows reactivity with Human samples.
The MA5-14662 immunogen is a synthetic peptide derived from residues 400 to the C-terminus of Human FOXP3.
MA5-14662 detects FOXP3 which has a predicted molecular weight of approximately 48 kDa.

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, stably and constitutively expressed at a high level in CD25+ CD4+ regulatory T cells, at a low level in CD4+/CD25− cells, and absent in CD4−/CD8+ T cells.
FOXP3 may act as a master regulatory gene and 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.
