• Antibody Type: Mouse Monoclonal Antibody ( Mouse mAb Service Platform )
• Clone ID: 10B1A3
• Ig Type: Mouse IgG1
• Formulation: 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with 5% trehalose
• Preparation: This antibody was produced from a hybridoma resulting from the fusion of a mouse myeloma with B cells obtained from a mouse immunized with purified, recombinant Human FLRT1 (rh FLRT1; Catalog#11389-H08H; Q9NZU1-1; Met 1-Pro 524). The IgG fraction of the cell culture supernatant was purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.

FLRT1 Antibody Background

Fibronectin Leucine Rich Transmembrane protein 1 (FLRT1) is a member of the fibronectin leucine rich transmembrane protein (FLRT) family. The three fibronectin leucine-rich repeat transmembrane (FLRT) proteins: FLRT1, FLRT2 and FLRT3, all contain 10 leucine-rich repeats (LRR), a type III fibronectin (FN) domain, followed by the transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic tail. FLRTs are glycosylated membrane proteins expressed at the cell surface which localise in a homophilic manner to cell-cell contacts expressing the focal adhesion marker vinculin. Each member of the FLRT family has a distinct, highly regulated expression pattern, as was seen for the NLRR family. FLRT1 is expressed at brain compartmental boundaries. FLRT proteins have dual properties as regulators of cell adhesion and potentiators of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) mediated signalling. FLRT1 is a target for tyrosine phosphorylation mediated by FGFR1 and implicate a non-receptor Src family kinase (SFK). The phosphorylation state of FLRT1, which is itself FGFR1 dependent, may play a critical role in the potentiation of FGFR1 signalling and may also depend on a SFK-dependent phosphorylation mechanism acting via the FGFR. This is consistent with an 'in vivo' role for FLRT1 regulation of FGF signalling via SFKs. Furthermore, the phosphorylation-dependent futile cycle mechanism controlling FGFR1 signalling is concurrently crucial for regulation of FLRT1-mediated neurite outgrowth.
