General description

TAL-1, also known as SCL (stem cell leukemia), is a serine phosphoprotein and basic-helix-loop-helix transcription factor. TAL-1 is implicated in the genesis of hemopoietic malignancies and is a positive regulator of erythroid differentiation. A nonrandom, site-specific TAL-1 chromosomal translocation is commonly associated with oncogenic transformation in many T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias. TAL-1 binds to the LIM domain containing protein Rhombotin 2 (RBTN2), where it forms a complex with GATA1 or GATA 2 that is essential for erythropoiesis.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Purified mouse monoclonal IgG1k in buffer containing PBS and 0.05% sodium azide.

Protein G Purified

Quality

Routinely evaluated by western blot on Jurkat cell lysate.

Specificity

This antibody detects two predominant protein products of the SCL/TAL1 gene in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL): a full length PP42-TAL1 (42/44 kDa) and a truncated form PP24-TAL1 (24/26 kDa).

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
