Western blot - Anti-TCF12 antibody (AB245540)

Western blot : Anti-TCF12 antibody staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in black; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab245540 was shown to bind specifically to TCF12. A band was observed at 85 kDa in wild-type Jurkat cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in TCF12 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab274931 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab274989). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 85 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of TCF12. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and TCF12 CRISPR-Cas9 edited Jurkat cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3% milk in TBS-0.1% Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times before development with Optiblot (ECL reagent ab133456) and imaged with 20 minutes exposure time. Secondary antibodies used were HRP conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit (H+L) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

TCF12 also known as transcription factor 12 or Heb functions as a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor. It plays roles in DNA binding and regulation of gene expression. The protein has a molecular mass of approximately 75 kDa. TCF12 expresses in various tissues with notable levels observed in the brain and skeletal muscle. It influences the development and differentiation of different cell types due to its transcriptional regulation activities.
Biological function summary

TCF12 controls the transcription of genes involved in cellular differentiation proliferation and development. It frequently functions as part of heterodimeric complexes with other bHLH proteins such as E2A. These complexes allow TCF12 to regulate a variety of target genes involved in tissue development and cell fate decisions. TCF12's ability to form these complexes enhances its functional diversity and impact on biological processes.

Pathways

The role of TCF12 extends to the Notch signaling pathway where it interacts with proteins like Notch receptors to affect cell fate determination. The protein also participates in the Myogenesis pathway collaborating with MyoD to facilitate the differentiation of myoblasts into mature muscle fibers. These pathways highlight TCF12's involvement in developmental processes and lineage specification.

TCF12 mutations and dysregulation have associations with craniosynostosis a condition characterized by premature fusion of cranial sutures. TCF12 also relates to certain types of cancer due to its regulatory effects on cell proliferation. In these contexts TCF12 may interact with proteins like TWIST1 which also influences developmental and tumorigenic processes highlighting potential therapeutic targets for intervention.
