What Does TCF Stand For?
TCF stands for T Cell Factor
TCF, or T Cell Factor, refers to a family of transcription factors that play a critical role in the development and function of T cells, a type of white blood cell essential for the adaptive immune response. TCF proteins are involved in the regulation of gene expression during T cell activation and differentiation, and they are important for driving the development of various T cell subtypes. Additionally, TCFs interact with beta-catenin in the Wnt signaling pathway, influencing cell fate decisions in both immune and other tissue contexts. Their activity is crucial for maintaining immune homeostasis and contributing to immune responses against pathogens.
