The human CUX1 gene is large, encompassing more than 440,000 base pairs with two alternative first exons and an additional 23 exons. The last exon has a weak polyadenylation site allowing RNA polymerase II often to continue transcribing until it reaches an additional 10 exons. Splicing of this longer transcript from exon 14 to exon 25 generates a mature mRNA that codes for a protein that was called CASP (Cut alternatively spliced product). CASP localizes to the Golgi and does not seem to impact at all on CUX1 function. However, because of the complex structure of the gene, most oligos in microarrays were derived from the most 3' exons that are unique to CASP. Thus, until the advent of RNA sequencing CUX1 expression data has been essentially limited to immunohistochemical analyses. Similarly, many guide RNAs in CRISPR-Cas screening studies target the CASP-specific exons and do not affect CUX1.

Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (HA601128) at 1/50,000 dilution was used in primary antibody dilution (K1803) at 4℃ overnight. Goat Anti-Mouse IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1006) at 1/50,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature.
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human endometrium tissue with Mouse anti-Protein CASP antibody (HA601128) at 1ug/mL dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) (high pressure) for 2 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HA601128) at 1ug/mL dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
