KCTD11 Polyclonal Antibody

The KCTD11 gene encodes a protein that has been identified as a suppressor of Hedgehog signaling. Its inactivation might lead to a deregulation of the tumor promoting Hedgehog pathway in medulloblastoma. Plays a role as a marker and a regulator of neuronal differentiation; Up-regulated by a variety of neurogenic signals, such as retinoic acid, epidermal growth factor/EGF and NGFB/nerve growth factor. Induces apoptosis, growth arrest and the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor CDKN1B. Plays a role as a tumor repressor and inhibits cell growth and tumorigenicity of medulloblastoma (MDB) . Functions as antagonist of the Hedgehog pathway on cell proliferation and differentiation by affecting the nuclear transfer of transcrition factor GLI1, thus maintaining cerebellar granule cells in undifferentiated state.
