Function

Transcription factor that binds and activates the promoter of thyroid specific genes such as thyroglobulin, thyroperoxidase, and thyrotropin receptor. Crucial in the maintenance of the thyroid differentiation phenotype. May play a role in lung development and surfactant homeostasis. Forms a regulatory loop with GRHL2 that coordinates lung epithelial cell morphogenesis and differentiation. Activates the transcription of GNRHR and plays a role in enhancing the circadian oscillation of its gene expression. Represses the transcription of the circadian transcriptional repressor NR1D1 (By similarity).

Activity summary

TTF1 also known as Nkx2-1 is a transcription factor with a molecular mass of approximately 38 kDa. It plays a significant role in regulating gene expression. This target is mainly expressed in tissues such as the thyroid lung and the brain. In the thyroid it activates genes associated with thyroid hormone synthesis while in the lung it regulates genes important for lung development and function. It is also referred to by other alternate names such as anti-TTF1 and NKX2.1.

Biological function summary

TTF1/Nkx2-1 is essential for organ-specific development and maintenance. It is a critical component of transcriptional complexes that modulate the expression of genes during the development of the thyroid and lung tissues. TTF1/Nkx2-1 impacts cellular processes by controlling genes involved in differentiation. Its regulatory functions play an important role in dictating cell fate decisions and maintaining organ identity.

Pathways

The activity of TTF1/Nkx2-1 integrates into the TGF-beta signaling and Wnt pathways. These pathways are imperative for cellular proliferation and differentiation. TTF1/Nkx2-1 possesses interactions with proteins like SMADs within the TGF-beta pathway influencing cellular responses. Similarly it interacts with beta-catenin in the Wnt pathway contributing to the modulation of gene expression relevant to developmental processes.

Associated diseases and disorders

TTF1/Nkx2-1 has been associated with conditions like lung cancer and congenital hypothyroidism. Altered expression or mutations in this transcription factor can lead to these disorders. For instance in lung cancer the aberrant expression of TTF1/Nkx2-1 may involve proteins such as EGFR which contributes to tumorigenesis. In congenital hypothyroidism disruptions in TTF1/Nkx2-1 activity can affect thyroid hormone synthesis-related proteins impacting metabolic processes.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-TTF1/Nkx2-1 antibody [EPR5955(2)] (ab206726)

    IHC image of TTF1/Nkx2-1 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human thyroid*.

    The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) in a Biocare Medical NxGen pressure cooker using retrieval settings of 110°C for 20 minutes. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab206726 at 1/100 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labeled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.

    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.
