T-cell factor 3 (transcription factor 7-like 1, TCF-3) is a component of the Wnt signaling pathway, which functions in CNS patterning, proliferation and neurogenesis, and a dominant downstream effector in embryonic stem cells (ESCs).TCF-3 binds to and represses the Oct4 promoter,
and plays an important role in modulating the appropriate level of gene transcription in ESCs and during embryonic development (1, 2).TCF-3 is necessary for the terminal differentiation of epidermal cells, the formation of keratohyalin granules and the development of the barrier
function of the epidermis.It down-regulates NQO1, leading to increased mitomycin c resistance.It is detected in hair follicles and skin keratinocytes, and at lower levels in stomach epithelium (2).
Applications:

Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 1:100
Western Blot: 1:1000-1:5000
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, 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.
