Anti-ISL-1 Antibody, clone 16E8.1

Islet-1 (ISL-1) is a transcription factor that plays an important role in the embryogenesis of pancreatic islets of Langerhans. It is expressed in subsets of neurons of the adrenal medulla and dorsal root ganglion, inner nuclear and ganglion cell layers in the retina, the pineal and some regions of the brain. In mouse embryos, a deficiency of this gene fail to undergo neural tube motor neuron differentiation. More recently it has been identified as a marker for a cardiac progenitor cell lineage that is capable of differentiating into all 3 major heart cell types: cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle and endothelial cell lineages.

GST-tagged linear peptide corresponding to Human ISL-1.

Evaluated by Immunohistochemistry in both human cerebellum and rat hippocampal tissue. Immunohistochemsitry Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution of this antibody detected ISL-1 in both human cerebellum and rat hippocampal tissue.
