Transcription factor 12 (TCF12) is a class I member of helix-loop-helix (HLH) protein family, encodes for class II basic helix-loop-helix protein (bHLHb) transcription factor. In human chromosome, the gene TCF12 is localized on 15q21.3.
Immunogen
TCF12 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human TCF12.
Application
Anti-TCF12 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Transcription factor 12 (TCF12) represses E-cadherin expression and thereby controls metastasis of colorectal cancer cells. TCF12 might play a role in controlling the proliferation of neural stem cells and progenitor cells. TCF12-TWIST1 (twist family bHLH transcription factor 1) heterodimers is required for the development of normal coronal suture. Mutations in the TCF12 heterodimer causes coronal craniosynostosis. TCF12 is critically required for regulating human mesodermal and hematopoietic specification in the early development. Mutations in TCF12 affects the transcriptional activity and leads to anaplastic oligodendroglioma, a rare brain tumor.
