TCF-4/12 (S616) polyclonal antibody

T cell factors (TCFs) comprise a family of DNA-binding transcriptional activators that are essential for lymphoid cell development. These transcription factors are activated by the Wnt-1 and Wingless pathways and are characterized by the presence of a conserved protein motif, the high mobility group (HMG) 1 box, which mediates DNA binding. TCF-4 mainly localizes in the cytoplasm and is transported into the nucleus directly bound to β-catenin in a cooperative manner. This TCF-4/β-catenin complex induces expression of Wnt target genes, including multiple cancer-associated genes.
