The Brachyury protein is a T-box transcription factor that is one of the earliest indicators of mesoderm formation during embryonic development. As the brachyury protein family is essential for the formation of the posterior body in all vertebrates, Brachyury has been shown to be expressed during gastrula and neurula stages, as well as in the developing notochord. Consequently, when mutations occur within the brachyury gene, severe vertebral malformations have been found to occur, as a direct result. In addition, current findings also indicate that the dysregulation of brachyury may also be linked to the formation of chordomas, which are malignant tumors that develop along the spine.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
