LEF1/TCF1 Alpha [clone EP310], anti-human

Description: LEF1 or TCF1 alpha participates in the Wnt signaling pathway, activates transcription of target genes in the presence of CTNNB1 and EP300. It may play a role in hair cell differentiation and follicle morphogenesis. TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4 repress transactivation mediated by LEF1 and CTNNB1. It regulates T-cell receptor alpha enhancer function. PIAG antagonizes both Wnt-dependent and Wnt-independent activation by LEF1. Isoform 3 lacks the CTNNB1 interaction domain and may be an antagonist for Wnt signaling. Isoform 5 transcriptionally activates the fibronectin promoter, binds to and represses transcription from the E-cadherin promoter in a CTNNB1-independent manner, and is involved in reducing cellular aggregation and increasing cell migration of pancreatic cancer cells. Isoform 1 transcriptionally activates MYC and CCND1 expression and enhances proliferation of pancreatic tumor cells. Detected in thymus but not detected in normal colon, but highly expressed in colon cancer biopsies and colon cancer cell lines. Expressed in several pancreatic tumors and weakly expressed in normal pancreatic tissue. Isoforms 1 and 5 are detected in several pancreatic cell lines.Localization: nucleusDilution: 50-200Positive Control: tonsil, colon caHIER: citrate pH6.0 or EDTA pH8.0Status: RUO
