This antibody detects all LEF-1 isoforms by Western blot and does not cross-react with TCF-1 or TCF-4. Recognizes an epitope in amino acids 256-308 of LEF-1. This region is between the transactivation domain and the HMG binding domain of LEF-1 and is conserved in all LEF-1 isoforms.
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
Lymphoid Enhancer Factor-1 (LEF-1) is an HMG 1/2-like DNA binding/bending protein and is a member of the LEF/TCF transcription factor family. There are four LEF/TCF family members in mammalian systems (LEF-1, TCF-1, TCF-3 and TCF-4), and orthologs to these factors have been identified in many different species. LEF/TCFs are downstream mediators of Wnt/Wingless signals. Wnt signaling drives cell polarity, cell fate and cell growth decisions in embryonic tissues and in post-natal tissues that continue to develop from mitotically active stem cell precursors. Misregulation of Wnt signaling is also implicated as a root cause of many different cancers, such as colon cancer, melanoma, breast cancer, prostate cancer and others.Synonyms: LEF-1, Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1, T cell-specific transcription factor 1-alpha, TCF1-alpha
