General description

LGN is also known as G-protein-signaling modulator 2 (GPSM2). LGN has an important role in cellular structure and spindle pole orientation. LGN also stabilizes the apical complex during neuroblast divisions. LGN defects lead to Chudley-McCullough syndrome as well as a multiple micronuclei phenotype due to chromosomal mis-segregation and cell division errors.

Specificity

Other Homologies: Human (85% sequence homology), Chicken (75% sequence homology).

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to mouse LGN.

Application

Anti-LGN Antibody is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody, that targets LGN & has been tested in western blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected LGN in mouse E16 brain tissue lysate.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in rat E16 heart tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected LGN in rat E16 heart tissue lysate.

Target description

~77 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands may be observed at ~30 kDa, ~60 kDa, and ~70 kDa in some cell lysates.

Correct selection of the cell division axis is important for cell differentiation, tissue and organ morphogenesis, and homeostasis. Both integrins, which mediate interactions with extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as fibronectin, and cadherins, which mediate interactions between cells, are implicated

Oriented cell divisions balance self-renewal and differentiation in stratified epithelia such as the skin epidermis. During peak epidermal stratification, the distribution of division angles among basal keratinocyte progenitors is bimodal, with planar and perpendicular divisions driving symmetric and asymmetric daughter

Correct cyst morphogenesis of epithelial cells requires apical-basal polarization, which is partly regulated by mitotic spindle orientation, a process dependent on the heterotrimeric G protein subunit Gαi and its binding protein LGN. Here, we show that in three-dimensional culture of
Par3-mInsc and G?i3 cooperate to promote oriented epidermal cell divisions through LGN.

During organogenesis, precise control of spindle orientation balances proliferation and differentiation. In the developing murine epidermis, planar and perpendicular divisions yield symmetric and asymmetric fate outcomes, respectively. Classically, division axis specification involves centrosome migration and spindle rotation, events occurring early
