The MOB1A Polyclonal Antibody (PAC020033) is a valuable tool for researchers studying MOB1A, a protein involved in cell division and growth regulation. This antibody, derived from rabbit serum, is highly specific to human samples and has been validated for use in Western blotting applications.MOB1A, an essential component of the Hippo signaling pathway, plays a pivotal role in controlling cell proliferation and organ size through its interaction with other key proteins. Dysregulation of MOB1A has been linked to various diseases, including cancer, making it a promising therapeutic target for drug development.
By enabling the detection and analysis of MOB1A protein levels in different cell types, this antibody offers researchers a powerful tool for uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying cell growth and division. Its high specificity and sensitivity make it an ideal choice for studies in cancer biology, developmental biology, and cell signaling pathways.

Background:
MOB1 was first identified in yeast as a protein that binds to Mps with essential roles in the completion of mitosis and the maintenance of ploidy . Its Drosophila and mammalian homologs, Mats and MOB1, respectively, are involved in the Hippo signaling tumor suppressor pathway, which plays a critical role in organ size regulation and which has been implicated in cancer development .
Synonyms:
MOB kinase activator 1A
UniProt Protein Function:
MOB1A: Activator of LATS1/2 in the Hippo signaling pathway which plays a pivotal role in organ size control and tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. The core of this pathway is composed of a kinase cascade wherein STK3/MST2 and STK4/MST1, in complex with its regulatory protein SAV1, phosphorylates and activates LATS1/2 in complex with its regulatory protein MOB1, which in turn phosphorylates and inactivates YAP1 oncoprotein and WWTR1/TAZ. Phosphorylation of YAP1 by LATS1/2 inhibits its translocation into the nucleus to regulate cellular genes important for cell proliferation, cell death, and cell migration. Stimulates the kinase activity of STK38 and STK38L. Acts cooperatively with STK3/MST2 to activate STK38. Binds STK38 and STK38L. Interacts with LATS1 and LATS2. Forms a tripartite complex with STK38 and STK3/MST2. Adrenal gland, bone marrow, brain, placenta, prostate, salivary gland, skeletal muscle, testis, thymus, thyroid gland, heart, spinal cord, fetal brain and fetal liver. Belongs to the MOB1/phocein family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

NCBI Summary:
The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the Hippo signaling pathway, which controls organ size and tumor growth by enhancing apoptosis. Loss of the encoded protein results in cell proliferation and cancer formation. The encoded protein is also involved in the control of microtubule stability during cytokinesis. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
