    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #94845. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #94845

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    DLK1 (F7O3Q) Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total DLK1 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the extracellular domain of human DLK1 protein.

    Background

    Delta-like-1 homolog (DLK1), 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 homeostasis maintenance 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 DLK1 ectodomain is shredded from the cell surface and inhibits adipocyte differentiation (5-7).

    Humans and rodents express multiple DLK1 isoforms, which are either membrane-bound or contain an ADAM17/TACE cleavage site for release of the soluble ectodomain (8). As high DLK1 expression is pro-oncogenic in some contexts, differential isoform expression may promote cancer cell survival, with both the ectodomain and intracellular domain having distinct functions (9). Under hypoxic conditions, HIF proteins induce ADAM17/TACE cleavage and internalization of the DLK1 intracellular domain, which localizes to the nucleus and alters Akt and p53 signaling cascades in glioma (10). Hypoxia increases DLK1 expression, and phosphorylation of the DLK1 C-terminus at Tyr339 and Ser355 increases neuronal tumor sphere growth (11). Nuclear DLK1 directly interacts with tumor suppressor NCoR1, correlating with poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (12). DLK1 has emerged as a target for novel antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) in neuroblastoma and adrenocortical carcinoma (13,14).
