Anti-HOXC8 Antibody

HOXC8 is a homeobox-family transcription factor that contributes to embryonic patterning, skeletal development, and has been implicated in tumor progression pathways across multiple cancer types. This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal reagent targets HOXC8 and is supplied by Antibodies.com as a 100 µl aliquot, ready for western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows on human and mouse tissue samples.

The antibody detects endogenous HOXC8 protein in cell lysates and fixed tissue sections, supporting studies in developmental biology, oncogenesis, and gene regulatory networks. Researchers apply it to characterize HOXC8 expression in normal versus transformed cells, map tissue-specific localization patterns, and validate expression changes in disease models where HOX-mediated transcriptional programs are altered.

Each batch is raised in rabbit hosts and affinity-purified to minimize background in immunoblotting and chromogenic staining applications. The polyclonal format broadens epitope recognition, which is useful when working with post-translationally modified targets or partially degraded material from in vitro experiments.

For best results, aliquot the reagent upon arrival and store frozen to limit freeze-thaw cycles, protecting binding activity across many experiments. Short-term handling at 4 °C is acceptable for active work, while long-term storage should remain below freezing to preserve specificity for HOXC8.
