Recombinant monoclonal rabbit antibody
Description
CDX-2 is a caudal-related homeobox transcription factor that plays a role in the development and maintenance of intestinal mucosa. It is expressed early in intestinal development and is involved in the regulation of intestinal epithelial cell proliferation and differentiation, localized to the villi and crypt surfaces of the intestinal epithelium. CDX2 deficiency promotes the development of sporadic colon cancers, and is also a distinguishing feature of large-cell, poorly-differentiated colon cancers. This protein is expressed in normal and neoplastic gastrointestinal epithelium, including colorectal adenocarcinoma. It is useful for identifying gastrointestinal origin of benign and malignant lesions.1-7
