Key elements and design rationale
- Target: TAL1 — Protein C-ets-1 (TAL bHLH transcription factor 1, erythroid differentiation factor). Alternative names: T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia protein 1; TAL-1; Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 17; bHLHa17; Stem cell protein; T-cell leukemia/lymphoma protein 5; TAL1; BHLHA17; SCL; TCL5
- Antibody format: Polyclonal; Rabbit IgG
- Species context: Host: Rabbit, Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.
- Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human TAL1, which shares 82.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat TAL1.
- Molecular weight context: observed 40-45 kDa, calculated 50408 MW (reported)
- Provided application(s): WB, IHC, Flow, ELISA
These attributes help contextualize how the antibody is commonly selected (host/clonality/isotype/label) and how signals are interpreted across sample types and assay formats.
Biological background
Function: Implicated in the genesis of hemopoietic malignancies. It may play an important role in hemopoietic differentiation. Serves as a positive regulator of erythroid differentiation (By similarity).
Cellular localization: Nucleus.
Tissue details: Leukemic stem cell.
Background: T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TAL1 gene. The protein encoded by TAL1 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor. TAL1 is a transcriptionally complex gene that is expressed throughout development, activating or repressing transcription in hematopoietic, neural, and endothelial precursors. This gene is mapped to chromosome 1p33.
Cross reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
Research relevance and current trends
- Quantitative and spatial profiling: expression patterns are increasingly studied across cell states using multiplex imaging and omics-informed validation.
- Isoforms and post-translational modifications: researchers often evaluate how isoform composition and PTMs can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Context-aware interpretation: comparative studies commonly include perturbations (stimulation, inhibition, genetic models) to relate target changes to pathway behavior.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare relative target abundance and apparent size shifts (e.g., isoforms/PTMs) across conditions.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): assess distribution across tissue compartments and compare staining patterns between groups.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and compare shifts after stimulation or differentiation.
Across these uses, researchers typically interpret changes in signal as relative differences between matched sample groups, considering sample preparation and biological context.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Apparent molecular weight can vary due to isoforms, proteolysis, glycosylation, phosphorylation, and sample preparation differences.
- Species reactivity and epitope conservation can influence observed signal patterns, especially in cross-species studies.
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype controls where relevant) and, when feasible, genetic or orthogonal controls (KO/KD, peptide competition, or independent assays) to support interpretation.
For antibody reagents, monoclonal antibodies are often chosen for epitope consistency across lots, while polyclonals may recognize multiple epitopes and can show different background characteristics depending on context.
