TEF-1 Polyclonal Antibody

disease:Defects in TEAD1 are the cause of Sveinsson chorioretinal atrophy (SCRA) [MIM:108985]; also known as atrophia areata (AA) or helicoidal peripapillary chorioretinal degeneration (HPCD). SCRA is characterized by symmetrical lesions radiating from the optic disk involving the retina and the choroid.,function:Binds specifically and cooperatively to the SPH and GT-IIC "enhansons" (5'-GTGGAATGT-3') and activates transcription in vivo in a cell-specific manner. The activation function appears to be mediated by a limiting cell-specific transcriptional intermediary factor (TIF). Involved in cardiac development. Binds to the M-CAT motif.,similarity:Contains 1 TEA DNA-binding domain.,tissue specificity:Preferentially expressed in skeletal muscle. Lower levels in pancreas, placenta, and heart.,
