    Product Information

    Storage

    Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    FHIT Antibody detects endogenous levels of total FHIT protein.

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids near the amino terminus of human FHIT. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    The fragile histidine triad (FHIT) tumor suppressor gene is frequently altered in human tumors (1). Adenovirus-mediated FHIT gene transfer has been shown to arrest tumor cell growth and induce apoptosis (2,3), and FHIT-/- knockout mice have a higher incidence of spontaneous tumor formation (4,5). FHIT physically associates with ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme 9 (6), and Src has been reported to phosphorylate Tyr114 of FHIT in vitro and in vivo (7). FHIT is a diadenosine P1,P3-triphosphate hydrolase (8), but a His96Asn mutation, which reduces FHIT enzymatic activity by three-fold, does not reduce FHIT tumor suppressor activity (8,9).

    Alternate Names

    AP3A hydrolase; AP3Aase; Bis(5'-adenosyl)-triphosphatase; Diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P3-triphosphate hydrolase; Dinucleosidetriphosphatase; FHIT; FRA3B; fragile histidine triad diadenosine triphosphatase; fragile histidine triad gene; Fragile histidine triad protein; tumor suppressor protein
