The FOXN1 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO49598) is a vital tool for researchers studying FOXN1, a transcription factor essential for thymus development and T cell differentiation. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high specificity and sensitivity for detecting FOXN1 in human samples, making it suitable for use in Western blotting and immunohistochemistry experiments. By binding to FOXN1, this antibody enables the precise identification and analysis of FOXN1 expression in various tissues and cell types, making it an invaluable asset for investigations in immunology, developmental biology, and cancer research.
FOXN1 plays a crucial role in the development and function of the thymus, a primary organ for T cell maturation and tolerance induction. Dysregulation of FOXN1 has been linked to various immune disorders, including immunodeficiency and autoimmune diseases. Studying the expression and activity of FOXN1 can provide insights into thymus function and T cell development, offering potential targets for therapeutic interventions in immune-related diseases. The FOXN1 Polyclonal Antibody is a reliable tool for researchers seeking to unravel the intricate mechanisms governed by FOXN1 in health and disease.

Background:
Transcriptional regulator which regulates the development, differentiation, and function of thymic epithelial cells (TECs) both in the prenatal and postnatal thymus. Acts as a master regulator of the TECs lineage development and is required from the onset of differentiation in progenitor TECs in the developing fetus to the final differentiation steps through which TECs mature to acquire their full functionality. Regulates, either directly or indirectly the expression of a variety of genes that mediate diverse aspects of thymus development and function, including MHC Class II, DLL4, CCL25, CTSL, CD40 and PAX1. Regulates the differentiation of the immature TECs into functional cortical TECs (cTECs) and medullary TECs (mTECs). Essential for maintenance of mTECs population in the postnatal thymus. Involved in the morphogenesis and maintenance of the three-dimensional thymic microstructure which is necessary for a fully functional thymus. Plays an important role in the maintenance of hematopoiesis and particularly T lineage progenitors within the bone marrow niche with age. Essential for the vascularization of the thymus anlage. Promotes the terminal differentiation of epithelial cells in the epidermis and hair follicles, partly by negatively regulating the activity of protein kinase C (By similarity). Plays a crucial role in the early prenatal stages of T-cell ontogeny.

NCBI Summary:
Mutations in the winged-helix transcription factor gene at the nude locus in mice and rats produce the pleiotropic phenotype of hairlessness and athymia, resulting in a severely compromised immune system. This gene is orthologous to the mouse and rat genes and encodes a similar DNA-binding transcription factor that is thought to regulate keratin gene expression. A mutation in this gene has been correlated with T-cell immunodeficiency, the skin disorder congenital alopecia, and nail dystrophy. Alternative splicing in the 5' UTR of this gene has been observed.
