Anti-E2F4 (Transcription Factor E2F4, E2F-4)

E2F4 is the most common E2F family member in a number of cell types. E2F4 deficiency has been shown to cause a decrease in the thickness of the gut epithelium, decrease in maturation of hematopoietic cell types and an increased rate of apoptosis, suggesting that E2F4 plays a role in normal maturation of several cell types. E2F4 has also been shown to be essential for the normal development of airway epithelium and early eye development. Other data has implicated E2F4 during normal heart development, specifically cardiomyocyte proliferation. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
