Anti-Anoctamin-1/TMEM16A Antibody, clone 5F8.1

Discovered on gastrointestinal stromal tumors protein 1 (Dog1), also known as Anoctamin-1/TMEM16A, is a novel multi-pass membrane protein belonging to the anoctamin family. Anoctamin-1/TMEM16A functions as a Ca2+-activated Cl- channel and is a required component of tracheal development. Expression of Anoctamin-1/TMEM16A is elevated in the gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), KIT signaling-driven mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. It is also expressed at more moderate levels in epithelia from foregut, kidney, lung, pancreas and salivary glands. Recent studies suggest that it may serve a roll as a diagnostic marker in the classification of GISTs.

This antibody recognizes isoforms 1 and 2 of Anoctamin-1 based upon immunogen design.

Epitope: N-terminal cytoplasmic domain

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain of human Anoctamin-1/TMEM16A.
