Recombinant Chicken Transcription Factor 12 (TCF12)

Chicken Transcription Factor 12 (TCF12) is a transcription factor in chickens that plays a crucial role in regulating gene expression. It is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) E-protein family, which recognizes the consensus binding site (E-box) CANNTG. TCF12 is involved in various biological processes, including cell differentiation and development. In chickens, TCF12 has been found to be associated with testis weight, indicating its potential role in reproductive biology. Additionally, research has shown that TCF12 is involved in the regulation of folliculogenesis and oocyte development in mammals. While specific studies on chickens may be limited, the function of TCF12 in chickens is likely similar to its role in other species, where it regulates critical developmental processes and gene expression patterns. Understanding TCF12's role in chickens can provide insights into poultry development, reproduction, and potentially related diseases.
