Mouse Monoclonal DUX4 Antibody Announced by Novus Biologicals

Littleton, CO, August 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- DUX4 is a transcriptional activator of PITX1, whose expression is epigenetically suppressed in differentiated tissues. DUX4 defects are suspected to cause facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), a degenerative skeletal muscle disease and one of the most common muscular dystrophies. In FSHD individuals, the expression of the DUX4 is not completely suppressed in skeletal muscle. Novus’ new DUX4 antibody (Catalog Number NBP1-49552) is useful for highly specific Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence staining on human samples.

The DUX4 antibody is highly characterized and extremely useful tool for transcription regulation, neuroscience and neurodegeneration research. They also offer DUX4 RNAi and recombinant protein for use as controls.
