(Green, E-Cadherin; RED, NKX2-2; Blue, DAPI). ptglab.com 3 WELCOME Foreword Developmental biology covers a broad spectrum of scientific research relating to the growth and development of living things. Not only does it concern the embryogenic events immediately following fertilization, it also encompasses the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation and morphogenesis – key components of regeneration and aging in the adult organism. In this development-focused catalog This catalog is essentially a shortlist you will find antibodies to those targets of around one quarter of the antibodies involved in pattern formation, such as Proteintech has for developmental biology HOX gene products and proteins involved protein targets. If you can’t find an antibody in Notch and Hedgehog signaling; neural to your target of choice here, we’re confident tube formation, such as sonic hedgehog that with over 2,000 primary antibodies protein; and organogenesis such as Wnt, relating to development in the complete FGF, BMP and EYA proteins. At the center Proteintech inventory you’ll find what you’re of the catalog, you will also find a primer looking for online at www.ptglab.com. on the primary cilium, with details on Proteintech®* antibodies recognizing the proteins involved in the generation and maintenance of this vital developmental structure.

Once thought of as an evolutionary artifact, this organelle is now understood to be crucial for regulating important cellular processes, including the cell cycle, cytoskeletal organization, intraflagellar transport and signaling pathways such as hedgehog, notch and canonical and non-canonical Wnt/planar call polarity (PCP) pathways. Proteintech has over 70 antibodies recognizing cilia-related proteins in its catalog. This article reviews a selection of these targeting proteins involved in cilia development, or ciliogenesis… CP110 CP110, also named CCP110 or KIAA0419, antibody was utilized for Western is a 110 kDa centriolar protein, not to be blotting (WB) and immunofluorescence Catalog Number confused with CEP110 (centriolin). CP110 studies looking at the impact of blocking positively regulates centriole duplication or upregulating M129 on ciliogenesis 12780-1-AP while restricting centriole elongation and and cilia elongation. Cilia formation was ciliogenesis. It acts as a key negative regulator inhibited when M129 levels were depleted, Type of ciliogenesis in collaboration with CEP97 and, conversely, potently upregulated with by capping the mother centriole, thereby M129 overexpression. Correspondingly, WB Rabbit Polyclonal preventing cilia formation. experiments showed that CP110 protein The Proteintech antibody anti-CP110 levels were depleted in the presence Applications (12780-1-AP) has appeared in several of overexpressed M129. Several other ELISA, FC, IF, IHC, IP, WB publications since its first appearance Proteintech antibodies were also used in Nature Cell Biology in mid-2012. In by the authors for this work, including this paper the authors describe CP110’s those targeting housekeeping protein 34 Publications regulation by the microRNA miR-129-3p GAPDH (60004-1-Ig), the actin nucleation (M129).
