NKX3.1 is a homeoprotein transcription factor expressed solely in prostate epithelial cells that is essential to normal prostate development.{61800} It functions as a tumor suppressor, regulating gene expression and cell proliferation in a non-cell autonomous manner.{61800} NKX3.1 forms complexes with the androgen receptor to mediate DNA repair generated during transcriptional activation and is activated in response to DNA damage to accelerate damage repair via activation of ataxia-telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM).{61801,61802} NKX3.1 can also be imported to the mitochondria by the chaperone protein HSPA9 where it induces expression of mitochondrial-encoded electron transport chain genes to restore oxidative phosphorylation under oxidative stress conditions.{61803} Loss of NKX3.1 expression is associated with hormone-refractoriness and advanced tumor stage in patients with prostate cancer.{61804} It has been used as a biomarker for prostate cancer and to determine the origin of metastatic tumors.{61805} Cayman’s NKX3.1 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC).
