Anti-MCC Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated

MUTATED IN COLORECTAL CANCERS (MCC) is a tumor suppressor gene. It is mapped to 5q22.2. This gene suppresses cell proliferation and the Wnt/b-catenin pathway in colorectal cancer cells. MCC also Inhibits DNA binding of b-catenin/TCF/LEF transcription factors, and it is Involved in cell migration independently of RAC1, CDC42 and p21-activated kinase (PAK) activation. What's more, MCC can interact with SCRIB (via phosphorylated PDZ-binding motif), EZR, SNX27, SLC9A3R1 and SLC9A3R2.

Isoform TrkA-I is found in most non-neuronal tissues. Isoform TrkA-II is primarily expressed in neuronal cells. TrkA-III is specifically expressed by pluripotent neural stem and neural crest progenitors.

Receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and peripheral nervous systems through regulation of proliferation, differentiation and survival of sympathetic and nervous neurons. High affinity receptor for NGF which is its primary ligand (PubMed:1850821, PubMed:1849459, PubMed:1281417, PubMed:8325889, PubMed:15488758, PubMed:17196528) . Can also bind and be activated by NTF3/neurotrophin-3. However, NTF3 only supports axonal extension through NTRK1 but has no effect on neuron survival (By similarity) . Upon dimeric NGF ligand-binding, undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation (PubMed:1281417) . Recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades driving cell survival and differentiation. Through SHC1 and FRS2 activates a GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates cell differentiation and survival. Through PLCG1 controls NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. Through SHC1 and SH2B1 controls a Ras- PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that is also regulating survival. In absence of ligand and activation, may promote cell death, making the survival of neurons dependent on trophic factors.
