Other Names | Heart- and neural crest derivatives-expressed protein 1, Class A basic helix-loop-helix protein 27, bHLHa27, Extraembryonic tissues, heart, autonomic nervous system and neural crest derivatives-expressed protein 1, eHAND, HAND1, BHLHA27, EHAND |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6116a was selected from the C-term region of human HAND1 . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | HAND1 |
---|---|
Synonyms | BHLHA27, EHAND |
Function | Transcription factor that plays an essential role in both trophoblast giant cell differentiation and in cardiac morphogenesis (By similarity). Binds the DNA sequence 5'-NRTCTG-3' (non-canonical E-box) (By similarity). Acts as a transcriptional repressor of SOX15 (By similarity). In the adult, could be required for ongoing expression of cardiac-specific genes (PubMed:9931445). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus, nucleoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus. Note=Interaction with MDFIC sequesters it into the nucleolus, preventing the transcription factor activity Phosphorylation by PLK4 disrupts the interaction with MDFIC and releases it from the nucleolus, leading to transcription factor activity (By similarity). |
Tissue Location | Heart. |

Background
HAND1 belongs to the basic helix-loop-helix family of transcription factors. This gene product is one of two closely related family members, the HAND proteins, which are asymmetrically expressed in the developing ventricular chambers and play an essential role in cardiac morphogenesis. Working in a complementary fashion, they function in the formation of the right ventricle and aortic arch arteries, implicating them as mediators of congenital heart disease. In addition, it has been suggested that this transcription factor may be required for early trophoblast differentiation.
