A recombinant full-length human TLE1 protein was used as the immunogen for the recombinant TLE1 antibody.
Key players in the Notch pathway are the TLE genes, which are human homologs of the Drosophila groucho gene. Groucho is a transcriptional repressor that plays a key role in neurogenesis, segmentation and sex determination. Transducin-like enhancer protein1 (TLE1) is a protein that is encoded by the TLE1 gene and is involved in control of hematopoiesis, neuronal, and terminal epithelial differentiation. Positive immunohistochemical nuclear staining with anti-TLE-1 has been shown to be a useful addition to an IHC panel when differentiating synovial sarcoma from other soft tissue malignancies.
