General description

MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) is a nucleoprotein and a major component of mismatch repair system. The MLH1 gene is localized on chromosome 3p21 and is made up of 19 exons. The protein has a molecular weight of 80kDa.
MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) is part of a large multi-subunit protein complex of tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors and signal transducers, named BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC).

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 60-75 of human MLH1, conjugated to KLH via an N-terminal added cysteine residue. The corresponding peptide sequence is conserved in human, rat, and mouse.

Application

  • Anti-MLH1 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:
  • immunoblotting
  • immunoprecipitation
  • immunocytochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

MutL homolog 1 (MLH1) has been shown to be involved in stimulating carcinogenesis in the colon.
MutL protein (MLH), a homolog of the E. coli MutL gene, is involved in DNA mismatch repair. Nonpolyposis colorectal cancer-2 is caused by a hereditary mutation in the MLH1 gene. This cancer can also be a result of hypermethylation of one MLH1 allele in somatic cells (a germline epimutation).

Target description

MLH1 (N-terminal) is part of a large multi-subunit protein complex of tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers, named BASC (BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex).

Physical form
