Application Note: This antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, immunofluorescence, and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 120 kDa in size corresponding to Gli-1 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. For immunohistochemistry, perform heat mediated antigen retrieval via the microwave method before commencing with staining.

Immunogen: The whole rabbit serum was prepared by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 805-820 of mouse Gli-1. The peptide was synthesized as a multiple antigen peptide (MAP).
Physical State: Liquid (sterile filtered)
Purity and Specificity: This whole rabbit antiserum was prepared by delipidation and defibrination followed by the addition of buffer salts and preservative. Reactivity is observed against Mouse and Human Gli-1. Cross-reactivity with other species is likely but has not been determined. No reaction occurs with human or mouse Gli-2 or Gli-3.
Background: Anti Gli1 Antibody was produced against a peptide corresponding to the carboxy-terminal region of the mouse Gli-1 protein. This region of Gli1 is not conserved among other gli family members, namely Gli-2 and Gli-3. Gli was termed by Kinzler et al. (1987) as 'glioma-associated oncogene' amplified in malignant gliomas. Analysis of the cloned gene demonstrates that the gene contains 5 repeats of zinc-finger sequences, which places Gli in the family of Kruppel (Kr) zinc finger proteins. Northern analysis reveals that Gli is expressed in embryonal carcinoma cells but not in most adult tissue. Gli has been localized to 12q13-q14.3 by Southern blot analysis. In mice, the gene is located on chromosome 10. In mice, three zinc finger transcription factors, Gli-1, Gli-2 and Gli-3, have been implicated in the transduction of Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signal. In papillary epithelium, shh, gli1 and ptc all follow similar expression patterns. Gli-1 expression is central and probably sufficient for tumor development in humans.
