ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Clone 2H11 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Transcription factor 21 (TCF21). It targets an epitope within 17 amino acids from the N-terminal half.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 17 amino acids from the N-terminal half of human Transcription factor 21 (TCF21).

Transcription factor 21 (UniProt: O43680; also known as TCF-21, Capsulin, Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 23, bHLHa23, Epicardin, Podocyte-expressed 1, Pod-1) is encoded by the TCF21 (also known as BHLHA23, POD1) gene (Gene ID: 6943) in human. TCF21 is a transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family that is involved in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions in kidney and lung morphogenesis that include epithelial differentiation and branching morphogenesis. It bHLH domain is localized in amino acids 79-131. Its efficient DNA binding requires dimerization with another bHLH protein. It forms a heterodimer with TCF3 and binds the E box (5′-CANNTG-3′). TCF21 is specific for mesoderm and is expressed in the embryo mesenchymal derived tissues, such as the epicardium. It is reported to play a vital role in regulating cell differentiation and cell fate specificity through epithelial-mesenchymal transformation during cardiac development. TCF21 is shown to disrupt the central SRF/MYOCD interaction via multiple mechanisms, suggesting that it may also serve a master regulatory function in promoting smooth muscle cells de-differentiation. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
