ANTI-LZTS1

General description

Leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 (LZTS1) is a protein that regulates the molecular events involved in progression of cells through the M phase of mitosis. It functions as a tumor suppressor for a range of major cancer histotypes, such as bladder cancer and urothelial carcinomas. LZTS1 is transiently expressed at the border of the ventricular and mantle zones in subsets of sensory and motor spinal neurons.

Specificity

Anti-LZTS1 polyclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse, rat, bovine, and canine leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human LZTS1

Application

Anti-LZTS1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 protein for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 as a tumor suppressor gene and mediator of M-phase cell cycle progression.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Leucine zipper putative tumor suppressor 1 (LZTS1) is a tumor suppressor gene involved in the cell growth activity. It is down-regulated in several human malignancies. It retards the growth in cancer cells by regulating the mitotic process. It restricts Cdk1 (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 1) activity by steadying the Cdc25C (cell division cycle 25C) phosphatase, a mitotic activator of Cdk1. Deregulation of this gene is associated with breast cancer and may serve as a prognostic factor for breast cancer therapy. It is found to be down-regulated by promoter methylation. This gene is found to be involved in ovarian carcinogenesis.
