Anti-TCF21 (Transcription Factor 21, Capsulin, Epicardin, Podocyte-expressed 1, POD 1, POD1, POD-1)

The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor TCF21/Pod1 (also called capsulin or epicardin) is involved in kidney, lung and spleen organogenesis. It is also essential for normal development of the testes and ovaries. TCF21/Pod1 is involved in the transcriptional repression of steroidogenic factor 1 (Sf1/Nr5a1/Ad4BP), an orphan nuclear receptor that regulates the expression of multiple genes (including Scc) that mediate sexual differentiation. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 3 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
