LEF1 Antibody (N-term)
Western Blot (WB)
(LEF1 Antibody (N-term) western blot analysis in MDA-MB435 cell line lysates (35ug/lane).This demonstrates the LEF1 antibody detected the LEF1 protein (arrow).)
Immunofluorescence (IF)
(Fluorescent confocal image of A431 cell stained with LEF1 Antibody (N-term). A431 cells were fixed with 4% PFA (20 min), permeabilized with Triton X-100 (0.1%, 10 min), then incubated with LEF1 primary antibody (1:25, 1 h at 37 degree). For secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated donkey anti-rabbit antibody (green) was used (1:400, 50 min at 37 degree).Cytoplasmic actin was counterstained with Alexa Fluor 555 (red) conjugated Phalloidin (7units/ml, 1 h at 37 degree). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue) (10 ug/ml, 10 min). LEF1 immunoreactivity is localized to Nucleus significantly and Cytoplasm weakly.)
family of proteins that share homology with the high mobility group
protein-1. The protein encoded by this gene can bind to a
functionally important site in the T-cell receptor-alpha enhancer,
thereby conferring maximal enhancer activity. This transcription
factor is involved in the Wnt signaling pathway, and it may
function in hair cell differentiation and follicle morphogenesis.
Mutations in this gene have been found in somatic sebaceous tumors.
This gene has also been linked to other cancers, including
androgen-independent prostate cancer. Alternative splicing results
in multiple transcript variants.

NCBI Description
This gene encodes a transcription factor belonging to a family of proteins that share homology with the high mobility group protein-1. The protein encoded by this gene can bind to a functionally important site in the T-cell receptor-alpha enhancer, thereby conferring maximal enhancer activity. This transcription factor is involved in the Wnt signaling pathway, and it may function in hair cell differentiation and follicle morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene have been found in somatic sebaceous tumors. This gene has also been linked to other cancers, including androgen-independent prostate cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Uniprot Description
LEF-1: a transcription factor of the TCF/LEF family. Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway and regulates T-cell receptor alpha-C enhancer function. Activates transcription of target genes in the presence of CTNNB1 and EP300. TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4 repress transactivation mediated by LEF1 and CTNNB1. Binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner. PIAG antagonizes both Wnt-dependent and Wnt-independent activation by LEF1. Deletions in LEF1 have been observed in a subset of pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) cases. Four human isoforms produced by alternative promoter usage and alternative splicing have been described. Isoform 3 lacks the CTNNB1 interaction domain and may be an antagonist for Wnt signaling.

Product Notes
The LEF1 lef1 (Catalog #AAA9214719) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 10-37. The LEF1 Antibody (N-term) reacts with Human (Predicted Reactivity: Mouse, Rat) and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's LEF1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA), Immunofluorescence (IF). WB~~1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the LEF1 lef1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "LEF1, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
