Anti-Talin antibody, Mouse monoclonal

Uses

Anti-Talin antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunofluorescence
• fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)
• enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

General Description

Anti-Talin antibody, Mouse monoclonal, (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 8D4 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with purified cytoskeletal Talin, from chicken gizzard. Talin is a high molecular weight cytoplasmic adapter protein. It is localized at a subset of adherens junctions. Talin contains an N-terminal FERM domain (the head) linked to a flexible rod comprised of 13 amphipathic helical bundles and a C-terminal helix (DD) that forms an anti-parallel dimer. It may be found either as monomer or dimer.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Talin 1 (TLN1) is a cytoskeletal protein, which plays a vital role in cancer cell adhesion, migration and invasion. It is also involved in integrin activation and it facilitates the adhesion of integrin to actin cytoskeleton. TLN1 might act as a potential prognostic biomarker in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Overexpression of TLN1 is observed in endometrioid carcinoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), prostate cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Serum TLN1 functions as a potential biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Talin 1 (TLN1) is highly expressed in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The inhibition of TLN1 activity helps in diminishing malignant features of GBM cells. It also plays an important role in regulation of, Bevacizumab (anti-angiogenic agent) -resistance.
