LEF1 Antibody (1071412) [Unconjugated]

LEF1 was detected in Formalin Fixed fixed Paraffin Embedded sections of human spleen tissue using Mouse Anti-Human LEF1 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7647) at 5 µg/ml for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the cytoplasm and nucleus.

Background

LEF1 (Lymphoid Enhancer-binding Factor 1) is a functionally diverse member of the TCF/LEF family of transcription factors. The name LEF1 was originally applied to the mouse factor, while its human counterpart was named TCF-1 alpha . Since there is a related molecule named TCF-1, to avoid confusion with TCF-1 alpha , both species factors are now called LEF1. Although its predicted MW is 44 kDa, it runs anomalously at 35-55 kDa in SDS-PAGE. LEF1 has restricted expression in adult, being limited to T cells, thymocytes, pre-B cells and NK cells. LEF1 demonstrates sequence-specific (CCTTTG[T/A][T/A]) DNA binding and directs beta -catenin to Wnt‑responsive genes. Either transcriptional activation or repression may occur on LEF1 target genes, depending upon 1) the cofactors recruited to the LEF1: beta ‑catenin complex, and 2) the phosphorylation state of LEF1. Human LEF1 is 399 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one DNA-binding HMG-box (aa 298‑369), three potential phosphorylation sites, and an N-terminal SUMOylation site at Lys27. There are at least five isoform variants. One utilizes an alternative start site at Met116, a second contains a 47 aa substitution for aa 283‑299, and a third combines the previous two variations. A fourth variant shows a deletion of aa 214‑241, while a fifth variant combines the afore mentioned deletion of aa 214-241 with a 25 aa substitution for aa 390‑399. Over aa 120‑280, human LEF1 shares 97% aa sequence identity with mouse LEF1.
