Anti-OCIAD1 Antibody

OCIAD1 was first identified by immunoscreening of an ovarian carcinoma cDNA expression library with ascites fluid from ovarian cancer patients (PMID: 11162530) . OCIAD1 has been reported as a key player in ovarian cancer cell adhesion, as well as a key player in generating ovarian cancer recurrence (PMID: 18328549; 20515946) . In addition to its roles in cancer, OCIAD1 participates in maintaining stem cell potency by regulating the Jak/STAT pathway (PMID: 23972987) . Several alternatively spliced forms of OCIAD1 gene have been identified. The longest form (1.4 kb) is predicted to encode for a 27.6 kDa protein of 245 amino acids. This antibody detects OCIAD1 with an apparent molecular weight of ~35 kDa as has been demonstrated by several researches (PMID: 27345969; 27345976) .
