Attributs du produit
This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-PTF1A antibody (Catalog #: ARP32531_P050). It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications.
PTF1A is a pancreas specific transcription factor. Mammalian studies have implicated important roles for the basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor PTF1A-p48 in the development of both exocrine and endocrine pancreas. This gene encodes a protein that is a component of the pancreas transcription factor 1 complex (PTF1) and is known to have a role in mammalian pancreatic development. The protein plays a role in determining whether cells allocated to the pancreatic buds continue towards pancreatic organogenesis or revert back to duodenal fates. The protein is thought to be involved in the maintenance of exocrine pancreas-specific gene expression including elastase 1 and amylase. Mutations in this gene cause cerebellar agenesis and loss of expression is seen in ductal type pancreas cancers.
