Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

GLI1 (C68H3) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total GLI1 protein.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly420 of human GLI1.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from RMS-13 and TOV-112D cells using GLI1 (C68H3) Rabbit mAb.

Background

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 Cubitus interruptus (Ci) and function as transcription factors activated by the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Hedgehog signaling plays an important role in animal development, and research studies have shown that this pathway is aberrantly activated in many types of cancers (4,5).
