Rabbit anti-Human DLC1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q96QB1

Target Species

Human

Target Name

DLC1

Target Full Name

Rho GTPase-activating protein 7

Target Function

Functions as a GTPase-activating protein for the small GTPases RHOA, RHOB, RHOC and CDC42, terminating their downstream signaling. This induces morphological changes and detachment through cytoskeletal reorganization, playing a critical role in biological processes such as cell migration and proliferation. Also functions in vivo as an activator of the phospholipase PLCD1. Active DLC1 increases cell migration velocity but reduces directionality.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Note=Colocalizes with EF1A1 at actin-rich regions in the cell periphery.

Target Tissue Specificity

Highest level of expression in the spleen, with rather lower levels in prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon, but none in the thymus.

Target Background

This gene encodes a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that is a member of the rhoGAP family of proteins which play a role in the regulation of small GTP-binding proteins. GAP family proteins participate in signaling pathways that regulate cell processes involved in cytoskeletal changes. This gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene in a number of common cancers, including prostate, lung, colorectal, and breast cancers. Multiple transcript variants due to alternative promoters and alternative splicing have been found for this gene.
