CASZ1 Antibody

This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. The human castor zinc finger 1 gene (CASZ1) regulates the production of the castor transcription factor, having increased expression when cells of neural and mesenchymal origin are induced to differentiation. CASZ1 is expressed in a number of human tumors and it localizes to a genomic region frequently lost in tumors of neuroectodermal origin. The CASZ1 gene generates 2 mRNA isoforms hCASZ5 and hCASZ11 that could encode proteins containing 5 or 11 zinc finger motifs, respectively. The proteins may be especially labile. Expect a band at 125 kDa for hCASZ5 and 190 kDa for hCASZ11 in fresh lysates. This antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, IHC, IF, and western blotting. This antiserum detects endogenous CASZ1 proteins, both the hCASZ5 and hCASZ11 isoforms. Expect a band approximately 125 kDa for hCASZ5 and 190 kDa for hCASZ11 in size corresponding CASZ1 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user.
