Brilliant Violet 421™ anti-TCF1 (TCF7) Antibody, TCF1, 7F11A10,BioLegend,655213

TCF1 is the first identified member of the T-cell-specific transcription factor family.  It plays an important role in T cell development and differentiation. TCF1 is inactivated by association with the transcriptional repressor TLE proteins. During Wnt signaling, the transcriptional coactivator CTNNB1 accumulates and, in turn, replaces the transcriptional repressor associated with TCF1. Interaction with CTNNB1 results in transactivation of TCF1 target genes. Deletion of TCF1 causes massive apoptosis of double positive thymocyte, suggesting that TCF1 is required for thymocyte survival during T cell development. In addition to its function in thymus, TCF1 promotes T cell differentiation to Th2 cells in the periphery through transcriptional activation of GATA3.
