General description

Rabbit polyclonal anti-TBX21 antibody reacts with canine, bovine, pig, human, mouse, and rat T-box transcription factor 21 transcription factors.
T-box genes encode transcription factors that regulate developmental processes. T-box transcription factor 21 (TBX21) is the human ortholog of mouse Tbx21/Tbet, a lineage commitment regulator for the differentiation of interferon-gamma (IFNG) producting CD4 T helper (Th1) 1 cells.
TBX21 is involved in the development of T-lymphocytes. Functional TBX21 variations have been associated with aspirin-induced asthmaand have been linked to clinical outcomes for inhaled corticosteroid therapy in asthma patients.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human TBX21

Application

Rabbit Anti-TBX21 antibody can be used for western blot applications at a concentration of 1.0-2.0μg/ml. It can also be used for IHC at 4-8μg/ml using paraffin-embedded tissues.
Rabbit polyclonal anti-TBX21 antibody is used to tag T-box 21 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 21 in the differentiation of interferon-gamma (IFNG) producting CD4 T helper 1 (Th1) cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

TBX21 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. It is the human ortholog of mouse Tbx21/Tbet gene. Studies in mouse show that Tbx21 protein is a Th1 cell-specific transcription factor that controls the expression of the hallmark Th1 cytokine, interferon-gamma (IFNG). Expression of the human ortholog also correlates with IFNG expression in Th1 and natural killer cells, suggesting a role for this gene in initiating Th1 lineage development from naive Th precursor cells.

Asthma is a phenotypically heterogeneous disorder with many etiologic factors and clinical characteristics. T-bet, a Th1-specific transcription factor of T-box family, has been found to control interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) expression in T cells. Mice lacking the T-bet gene (tbx21) demonstrate multiple

TBX21 encodes for the transcription factor T-bet (T-box expressed in T cells), which influences naive T lymphocyte development and has been implicated in asthma pathogenesis. Specifically, the T-bet knockout mouse spontaneously develops airway hyperresponsiveness and other changes consistent with asthma.

Recent studies have shown that virally encoded mRNA sequences of genome maintenance proteins from herpesviruses contain clusters of unusual structural elements, G-quadruplexes, which modulate viral protein synthesis. Destabilization of these G-quadruplexes can override the inhibitory effect on self-synthesis of these
