Anti-AIG1 Antibody

Androgen-induced 1 (AIG1) is a novel Pirh2-interacting protein, which was initially cloned from human dermal papilla cells and is evolutionally conserved from drosophila through to humans. It is a membrane protein and belongs to the protein family containing FAR-17a domain. AIG1 may play a role in androgen-regulated growth of hair follicles. AIG1 could serve as a new biomarker for the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of HCCs and may be a novel candidate tumor suppressor.

AIG1 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human AIG1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 50 - 100 of AIG1.

Highly expressed in heart, ovary, testis, liver, and kidney, at lower levels in spleen, prostate, brain, skeletal muscle, pancreas, small intestine and colon, and undetected in peripheral blood leukocytes, thymus, lung and placenta. AIG1 expression is higher in hair follicles from males than from females.

AIG1 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
