Anti-Brachyury antibody produced in rabbit, approx. 1 mg/mL, affinity isolated antibody, buffered aqueous solution

Biochem/physiol Actions

Brachyury protein is a transcription factor that aids in the embryonic development of notochord tissue. It also plays an essential role in posterior mesoderm formation and differentiation. Brachyury is highly expressed in a variety of cancers including, chordoma and hemangioblastoma. It serves as an immunohistochemical marker for differential diagnosis of chordoma and hemangioblastoma (HBL).

General description

Brachyury (T) is an oncogene mapped to human chromosome 6q27. This gene codes for Brachyury, which is expressed throughout the primary mesoderm during the early stages of embryogenesis. Brachyury protein structure comprises highly conserved DNA binding domain, known as T-box domain.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal sequence of human brachyury (GeneID 6862). This sequence is 80% identical in mouse and 86% identical in rat.

Physical form
