Rabbit anti-Human TGIF1 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-TGIF1 antibody
TGIF1 Antibody (N-term)
three-amino acid loop extension (TALE) superclass of atypical
homeodomains. TALE homeobox proteins are highly conserved
transcription regulators. This particular homeodomain binds to a
previously characterized retinoid X receptor responsive element
from the cellular retinol-binding protein II promoter. In addition
to its role in inhibiting 9-cis-retinoic acid-dependent RXR alpha
transcription activation of the retinoic acid responsive element,
the protein is an active transcriptional co-repressor of SMAD2 and
may participate in the transmission of nuclear signals during
development and in the adult. Mutations in this gene are associated
with holoprosencephaly type 4, which is a structural anomaly of the
brain. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and
eight variants, encoding four distinct isoforms, are described.

NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the three-amino acid loop extension (TALE) superclass of atypical homeodomains. TALE homeobox proteins are highly conserved transcription regulators. This particular homeodomain binds to a previously characterized retinoid X receptor responsive element from the cellular retinol-binding protein II promoter. In addition to its role in inhibiting 9-cis-retinoic acid-dependent RXR alpha transcription activation of the retinoic acid responsive element, the protein is an active transcriptional co-repressor of SMAD2 and may participate in the transmission of nuclear signals during development and in the adult. Mutations in this gene are associated with holoprosencephaly type 4, which is a structural anomaly of the brain. Alternative splicing has been observed at this locus and multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms are described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
Uniprot Description
TGIF: Binds to a retinoid X receptor (RXR) responsive element from the cellular retinol-binding protein II promoter (CRBPII- RXRE). Inhibits the 9-cis-retinoic acid-dependent RXR alpha transcription activation of the retinoic acid responsive element. Active transcriptional corepressor of SMAD2. Links the nodal signaling pathway to the bifurcation of the forebrain and the establishment of ventral midline structures. May participate in the transmission of nuclear signals during development and in the adult, as illustrated by the down-modulation of the RXR alpha activities. Defects in TGIF1 are the cause of holoprosencephaly type 4 (HPE4). Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is the most common structural anomaly of the brain, in which the developing forebrain fails to correctly separate into right and left hemispheres. Holoprosencephaly is genetically heterogeneous and associated with several distinct facies and phenotypic variability. Belongs to the TALE/TGIF homeobox family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The TGIF1 tgif1 (Catalog #AAA9202439) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is 81-109. The TGIF1 Antibody (N-term) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's TGIF1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). WB~~1:1000. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TGIF1 tgif1 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 "TGIF1, 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
