Anti-SHOX antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein SHOX homeobox. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 292 amino acid residues and a mass of 32.2 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. A member of the Paired homeobox protein family, SHOX is known to be involved with the regulation of transcription and skeletal system development. The SHOX gene has been associated with the disease, Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis. Synonyms for this target antigen include PHOG, SHOX1, SHOXY, SS, short stature homeobox protein, and GCFX. SHOX gene orthologs have been reported in the bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some shox antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
