Reference: J:73292 Ridanpaa M, et al., Dynamic expression and nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin during the development of hair follicle-derived structures. Mech Dev. 2001 Dec;109(2):173-81
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:5659464
Gene symbol: Tcf7l1
Gene name: transcription factor 7 like 1 (T cell specific, HMG box)
Antibody: anti-Tcf3/4
Detection system: Secondary antibody coupled to horseradish peroxidase
Assay notes: The antibody used recognizes two related proteins: Tcf3/Tcf7l1 and Tcf4/Tcf7l2. The authors cited results of others that demonstrated Tcf4/Tcf7l2 is not expressed in the hair follicle, but the other systems studied in this paper were not discussed, so both family members have been annotated.
