Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot. Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology.

Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

DLK1 Antibody detects transfected levels of total DLK1 protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a residues surrounding Met371 of human DLK1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of total extracts from COS cells, mock transfected or transfected with constructs expressing either mouse or human DLK1, using DLK1 Antibody. * fragment of DLK1

Background

DLK1 (delta-like-1), also known as fetal antigen 1 (FA1) and preadipocyte factor 1 (pref-1), is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like family of proteins, containing six tandem EGF-like repeats (1,2). DLK1 is a paternally expressed, imprinted gene that plays an important role in normal development and in the maintenence of homeostasis of adipose tissue mass (3). DLK1 deficient mice display growth retardation, obesity, skeletal malformation, and increased serum lipid metabolites (4). It has been reported that the ectodomain of DLK1 is shredded from the cell surface and inhibits adipocyte differentiation ( 5-7).
