PIN1 antibody, rabbit polyclonal
Background
Encodes an auxin efflux carrier involved in shoot and root development. It is involved in the maintenance of
embryonic auxin gradients. Loss of function severely affects organ initiation, pin1 mutants are characterised by an
inflorescence meristem that does not initiate any flowers, resulting in the formation of a naked inflorescence stem.
PIN1 is involved in the determination of leaf shape by actively promoting development of leaf margin serrations.
In roots, the protein mainly resides at the basal end of the vascular cells, but weak signals can be detected in the
epidermis and the cortex. Expression levels and polarity of this auxin efflux carrier change during primordium
development suggesting that cycles of auxin build-up and depletion accompany, and may direct, different stages of
primordium development. PIN1 action on plant development does not strictly require function of PGP1 and
PGP19 proteins.
Other names: ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA PIN-FORMED 1, ATPIN1, PIN-FORMED 1, PIN1 AT1G73590
Immunogen: Rabbit polyclonal antibodies were produced by immunizing animals with a GST-fusion protein
containing the C-terminal region of arabidopsis thaliana PIN1 (AT1G73590). Antibodies were purified by affinity
purification using immunogen.
