Anti-TBX5 (AB1) antibody produced in rabbit

T-box genes encode transcription factors that regulate developmental processes. T-box transcription factor 5 (TBX5), a transcription factor expressed in the prospective hindlimb and forelimb territories and in a subpopulation of endocardial cells, is involved in the regulation of the specification of upper limb identity and heart development during embryogenesis. Defective TBX5 is linked with Holt-Oram syndrome, a condition associated with bone defects in the upper arms, wrists and/or hands and congenital heart defects.

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human TBX5

Rabbit polyclonal anti-TBX5 antibody is used to tag T-box 5 for detection and quantitation by immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the presence and roles of T-box transcription factor 5 in the specification of upper limb identity and heart development during embryogenesis.

Rabbit polyclonal anti-TBX5 antibody reacts with canine, rat, chicken, human, and mouse T-box transcription factor 5 transcription factors.

TBX5 is a member of a phylogenetically conserved family of genes that share a common DNA-binding domain, the T-box. T-box genes encode transcription factors involved in the regulation of developmental processes. This gene is closely linked to related family member T-box 3 (ulnar mammary syndrome) on human chromosome 12. The encoded protein may play a role in heart development and specification of limb identity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Holt-Oram syndrome, a developmental disorder affecting the heart and upper limbs.
