Anti-PTF1A

Polyclonal Antibody against Human PTF1A, Gene description: pancreas associated transcription factor 1a, Alternative Gene Names: bHLHa29, p48, PTF1-p48, Validated applications: ICC, Uniprot ID: Q7RTS3, Storage: Store at +4°C for short term storage. Long time storage is recommended at -20°C. Protein function: Transcription factor implicated in the cell fate determination in various organs. Binds to the E-box consensus sequence 5'-CANNTG-3'. Plays a role in early and late pancreas development and differentiation. Important for determining whether cells allocated to the pancreatic buds continue towards pancreatic organogenesis or revert back to duodenal fates. May be involved in the maintenance of exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression including ELA1 and amylase. Required for the formation of pancreatic acinar and ductal cells. Plays an important role in cerebellar development. Directly regulated by FOXN4 and RORC during retinal development, FOXN4-PTF1A pathway plays a central role in directing the differentiation of retinal progenitors towards horizontal and amacrine fates.
