Deleted in liver cancer 1 (DLC1) is a candidate tumor suppressor gene, originally obtained from human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It is mapped to the human chromosome location 8p21-22. The DLC1 gene is majorly expressed in normal human tissues. It contains three major functional domains, sterile α-motif (SAM), Rho guanosine triphosphatase-activating protein (RhoGAP), and steroidogenic acute regulatory-related lipid transfer (START) domains. The N-terminal region of DLC1 localizes to focal adhesions by binding to Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains on tensins.
Specificity
Anti-DLC1(C-terminal) specifically recognizes human DLC1.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminal of human DLC1, conjugated to KLH. The antibody is affinity-purified using the immunizing peptide immobilized on agarose.
Application
Anti-DLC1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit may be used in immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Deleted in liver cancer 1 (DLC1) interacts with tensin2, a focal adhesion protein, localized at the end of stress fibers, which plays key roles in cytoskeletal organization and cell signaling. Mutations in the focal adhesion targeting (FAT) region of DLC1 reduces its expression and function. The focal adhesion localization of DLC1 is critical for cell motility and morphology. It is also critical for the tumor suppressor activity of DLC1 and under expressed in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and a variety of cancer types.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.
