The MOB1A Polyclonal Antibody (PAC041102) is a valuable tool for researchers studying MOB1A, a key regulator of cell proliferation, survival, and tumorigenesis. This antibody, produced in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the MOB1A protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of MOB1A expression in various cell types, making it an essential component of studies in cancer biology and cell signaling pathways.
MOB1A, also known as the MOB kinase activator 1A, is a crucial component of the Hippo signaling pathway, which plays a vital role in controlling cell growth and organ size. Dysregulation of MOB1A has been implicated in various cancers, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions. By understanding the functions and mechanisms of MOB1A, researchers can gain valuable insights into cancer progression and potentially discover new avenues for treatment strategies.
Immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded human small intestine tissue using PACO41102 at dilution of 1:100.
IHC image of PACO41102 diluted at 1:1000 and staining in paraffin-embedded human breast cancer performed on a Leica BondTM system. After dewaxing and hydration, antigen retrieval was mediated by high pressure in a citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Section was blocked with 10% normal goat serum 30min at RT. Then primary antibody (1% BSA) was incubated at 4°C overnight. The primary is detected by a biotinylated secondary antibody and visualized using an HRP conjugated SP system.
Western Blot. Positive WB detected in: K562 whole cell lysate, Jurkat whole cell lysate. All lanes: MOB1A antibody at 3.3µg/ml. Secondary. Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG at 1/50000 dilution. Predicted band size: 26, 17 kDa. Observed band size: 26 kDa.
Background:
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.

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]
