VASH1 Antibody
Catalog Number: 26310
Technical:tech@swbio.com
Information:info@swbio.com
Description
- Swiss-Prot No.:
- Swiss-Prot:Q7L8A9
Gene ID:22846
- Form of Antibody:
- Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
- Storage:
- Can be stored at 4 ˚C, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
- Immunogen:
- Raised against a 19 amino acid peptide near the carboxy terminus of human VASH1.
- Purification:
- Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
- Specificity:
- VASH1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other vasohibin protein family members. At least two isoforms are known to exist; this antibody will recognize only the long isoform.
- Background:
- VASH1 was originally identified as an endothelium-derived vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-inducible angiogenesis inhibitor that acts in a negative feedback manner. VASH1 mRNA is expressed brain, heart, kidney and placenta in the adult, with robust expression in various organs during embryonic development. VASH1 expression in tumor cells and tumor vasculature is silenced by methylation by increased expression of Zeste homolog 2 (EZH2). The increase of EZH2 expression is induced by VEGF stimulation, leading to poor clinical prognosis. Recombinant adenovirus expressing VASH prevented tumor angiogenesis and inhibited tumor growth, suggesting that it may be a potentially valuable antitumor therapy in the clinic.
