Anti-FOXL1, clone PCRP-FOXL1-1F8

0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. FOXL1 is a 337 amino acid protein encoded by the mouse gene FOXL1. FOXL1 belongs to the forkhead family and contains one forkhead DNA-binding domain. The HNF3/forkhead family includes a large number of transcription factors that share a structurally related DNA binding domain. forkhead factors are known to play important roles both during development and in adults. FOXL1 is a winged helix transcriptional regulator expressed in the mesenchymal layer of developing and mature gastrointestinal tract. FOXL1-deficient mice exhibit various defects not only in the epithelial layer of the gastrointestinal tract but also in gut-associated lymphoid tissues. In the small intestine of FOXL1-deficient mice, the formation of Peyers patches is affected, particularly in the caudal region. FOXL1 is a mesenchymal modifier of the Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) gene products and plays a key role in gastrointestinal tumorigenesis. Protein function: Transcriptional activator required for the development of normal hearing, sense of balance and kidney function. Required for the expression of SLC26A4/PDS, JAG1 and COCH in a subset of epithelial cells and the development of the endolymphatic system in the inner ear. Also required for the expression of SLC4A1/AE1, SLC4A9/AE4, ATP6V1B1 and the differentiation of intercalated cells in the epithelium of distal renal tubules. [The UniProt Consortium]
