General description

Schlafen family member 5 (SLFN5) belongs to the Schlafen (SLFN) family of proteins and is induced by interferons. It is present in the nucleus of melanocytes and melanoma cells.

Immunogen

Schlafen family member 5 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-SLFN5 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, 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. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Schlafen family member 5 (SLFN5) has been shown to be involved in regulating the motility and growth of renal cell carcinoma cells. It regulates the expression of genes like matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), MMP13 and other genes involved in malignant cell motility. Studies have shown that SLFN5 participates in malignant melanoma cells growth and invasion in anchorage-independent manner.

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.

IFNα exerts potent inhibitory activities against malignant melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo, but the mechanisms by which it generates its antitumor effects remain unknown. We examined the effects of interferon α (IFNα) on the expression of human members

Intrinsic antiviral host factors confer cellular defence by limiting virus replication and are often counteracted by viral countermeasures. We reasoned that host factors that inhibit viral gene expression could be identified by determining proteins bound to viral DNA (vDNA) in

Human SLFN5 inhibits invasions of IFNα-sensitive renal clear-cell carcinoma and melanoma cells. However, whether this inhibition is confined to these IFNα-sensitive cancers is unclear. Here we show that SLFN5 expressions on both mRNA and protein levels are significantly higher in

Stress response pathways are critical for cellular homeostasis, promoting survival through adaptive changes in gene expression and metabolism. They play key roles in numerous diseases and are implicated in cancer progression and chemoresistance. However, the underlying mechanisms are only poorly

We provide evidence that human SLFN5, an interferon (IFN)-inducible member of the Schlafen (SLFN) family of proteins, exhibits key roles in controlling motility and invasiveness of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. Our studies define the mechanism by which this occurs
