This product detects a band of approximately 74kDa in pancreatic cell lysates.
This product detects human Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4), also known as Delta-4. DLL4 is a homologue of the Drosophila delta protein, and functions as a transmembrane bound ligand to the Notch receptor Notch1.
DLL4 is expressed in the vasculature and plays a critical role in vascular development. It is induced by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as a negative feedback regulator to regulate angiogenic sprouting and promote the formation of a differentiated vascular network.
DLL4 has been found to be strongly expressed in tumour vessels of clear-cell renal tumours and bladder cancer, and inhibition of DLL4 results in increased vascular proliferation but defective maturation. This in turn leads to a decrease in tumour growth, with no apparent toxicity.
Store at +4 °C or at -20 °C if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
If stored in this manner, this product is stable for 18 months after receipt.
