TEAD2 polyclonal antibody

The transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF)/TEAD family includes TEF-1, TEF-3, TEF-4 and TEF-5. These proteins share a highly conserved 68-amino acid TEA/ATTS DNA-binding domain, which binds to SV40 GT-IIC (GGAATG), SphI (AGTATG), SphII (AGCATG), and muscle-specific M-CAT (GGTATG) enhansons. TEFs are differentially expressed in human cultured cell lines and mouse embryonic and extra-embryonic tissues. Specifically, TEF-4 is strongly coexpressed with TEF-1 in mouse mitotic neuroblasts and is also detected in the gut and the nephrogenic region of the kidney. TEF-4 associates with the powerful transcriptional coactivator YAP65 to mediate mitogenic signals. In addition, TEF-4 promotes the activation of the CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) alpha protein, which is the rate-limiting enzyme of phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis, by enhancing the transcriptional activity of Ets-1.
