MLH1 Polyclonal Antibody

This gene was identified as a locus frequently mutated in hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC) . It is a human homolog of the E. coli DNA mismatch repair gene mutL, consistent with the characteristic alterations in microsatellite sequences (RER+phenotype) found in HNPCC. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. Additional transcript variants have been described, but their full-length natures have not been determined.
