GLI2 (R770) Antibody

2585:

Immunoprecipitation , Western Blotting

GLI2 (R770) Antibody detects transfected levels of human GLI2 protein.

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Arg770 of human GLI2. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of COS cell extracts, untransfected or transiently transfected with a construct expressing GLI2, using GLI2 (R770) Antibody.

GLI was first identified as a gene amplified in a malignant glioma (1) capable of transforming primary cells in cooperation with adenovirus E1A (2). GLI belongs to the Kruppel family of zinc finger proteins that includes three mammalian GLI proteins: GLI1, GLI2 and GLI3 (3). These GLI proteins are similar to the Drosophila homolog Ci (Cubitus interruptus) and function as transcription factors activated by the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Hedgehog signaling plays an important role in animal development and is aberrantly activated in many types of cancers (4,5).

GLI2 contains both transcription repression and activation domains (6) and several isoforms of GLI2 have been reported that may have different activities (7-9). Overexpression of GLI2 in skin causes basal cell carcinoma in mice (10), while loss-of-function of GLI2 is associated with pituitary anomalies (11).
