ANTI-TBX21 (C15-1340-750)

General description

Rabbit polyclonal anti-TBX21 antibody reacts with canine, bovine, pig, human, mouse, and rat T-box transcription factor 21 transcription factors.

T-box genes encode transcription factors that regulate developmental processes. T-box transcription factor 21 (TBX21) is the human ortholog of mouse Tbx21/Tbet, a lineage commitment regulator for the differentiation of interferon-gamma (IFNG) producting CD4 T helper (Th1) 1 cells.

TBX21 is involved in the development of T-lymphocytes. Functional TBX21 variations have been associated with aspirin-induced asthmaand have been linked to clinical outcomes for inhaled corticosteroid therapy in asthma patients.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human TBX21

Application

Rabbit Anti-TBX21 antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 1.0-2.0μg/ml. It can also be used for IHC at 4-8μg/ml using paraffin-embedded tissues.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-TBX21 antibody is used to tag T-box 21 for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of T-box transcription factor 21 in the differentiation of interferon-gamma (IFNG) producting CD4 T helper 1 (Th1) cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TBX21 is a member of a phylogenetically conserved family of genes that share a common DNA-binding domain, the T-box. T-box genes encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of developmental processes. It is the human ortholog of mouse Tbx21/Tbet gene. Studies in mouse show that Tbx21 protein is a Th1 cell-specific transcription factor that controls the expression of the hallmark Th1 cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFNG). Expression of the human ortholog also correlates with IFNG expression in Th1 and natural killer cells, suggesting a role for this gene in initiating Th1 lineage development from naive Th precursor cells.
