• Applicable Applications for anti-PTF1A antibody: ELISA (EIA)(peptide)
• Application Notes: ELISA(peptide): 1:20000-1:40000
• Immunogen: A synthesized peptide derived from human PTF1A.
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Subunit Structure: Component of the pancreas transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) which is composed of TCF3/p75, TCF12/p64 and PTF1A/p48. TCF3 is responsible for the nuclear import of the p48/p64 complex. Interacts with TCF3 and RBPSUH/RBP-Jkappa (By similarity).
• Tissue Specificity: Pancreas-specific (at protein level). Loss of expression is seen in ductal type pancreas cancers.
• Function: Transcription factor implicated in the cell fate determination in various organs. Binds to the E-box consensus sequence 5'-CANNTG-3'. Plays a role in early and late pancreas development and differentiation. Important for determining whether cells allocated to the pancreatic buds continue towards pancreatic organogenesis or revert back to duodenal fates. May be involved in the maintenance of exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression including ELA1 and amylase. Required for the formation of pancreatic acinar and ductal cells. Plays an important role in cerebellar development. Directly regulated by FOXN4 and RORC during retinal development, FOXN4-PTF1A pathway plays a central role in directing the differentiation of retinal progenitors towards horizontal and amacrine fates.
• Note: In chronic pancreatitis associated with pancreas cancer preferentially accumulates in the cytoplasm of acinar/ductular complexes. In the cytoplasm loses its ability to form the PTF1 complex (By similarity).
• Preparation and Storage: Store at -20 degree C. Stable for 12 months from date of receipt.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a protein that is a component of the pancreas transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) and is known to have a role in mammalian pancreatic development. The protein plays a role in determining whether cells allocated to the pancreatic buds continue towards pancreatic organogenesis or revert back to duodenal fates. The protein is thought to be involved in the maintenance of exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression including elastase 1 and amylase. Mutations in this gene cause cerebellar agenesis and loss of expression is seen in ductal type pancreas cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Uniprot Description

PTF1A: Transcriptional activator. Binds to the E-box consensus sequence 5'-CANNTG-3'. Plays an important role in determining whether cells allocated to the pancreatic buds continue towards pancreatic organogenesis or revert back to duodenal fates. May be involved in the maintenance of exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression including ELA1 and amylase. Required for the formation of pancreatic acinar and ductal cells. Plays an important role in cerebellar development. Defects in PTF1A are the cause of diabetes mellitus and cerebellar hypoplasia/agenesis (DMCH).
