ANTI-VANGL1

General description

The gene VANGL1 (vang-like protein 1) is mapped to human chromosome 1p13. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein and a component of the Wnt-PCP (planar cell polarity) pathway. The VANGL1 protein can interact with planar cell polarity (PCP) core proteins Disheveled, Prickle, and Frizzled, KAI1 (metastasis suppressor Kangai-1) protein and ITF (intestinal trefoil factor) protein.

Immunogen

Vang-like protein 1 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies^®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.
Anti-VANGL1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used for immunohistochemsitry and immunofluorescence.

Anti-VANGL1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot and immunostaining.

Biochem/physiol Actions

VANGL1 (vang-like protein 1) is associated with tumor progression in various cancers. In colorectal cancer, it enhances the angiogenesis. In mouse colon cells, overexpression of the VANGL1 gene causes tumorigenicity, invasiveness and adhesion to fibronectin. VANGL1 is upregulated in colon, laryngeal, oral cavity squamous, gastric and hepatocellular cancer tissues. VANGL1 is a planar cell polarity protein. It plays a significant role in embryogenesis and is required for normal embryonic development.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Linkage

Corresponding Antigen APREST73163.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
