General description

Leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 (LZTS1) is a protein that regulates the molecular events involved in progression of cells through the M phase of mitosis. It functions as a tumor suppressor for a range of major cancer histotypes, such as bladder cancer and urothelial carcinomas. LZTS1 is transiently expressed at the border of the ventricular and mantle zones in subsets of sensory and motor spinal neurons.

Specificity

Anti-LZTS1 polyclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse, rat, bovine, and canine leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human LZTS1

Application

Anti-LZTS1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 protein for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of leucine zipper, putative tumor suppressor 1 as a tumor suppressor gene and mediator of M-phase cell cycle progression.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Leucine zipper putative tumor suppressor 1 (LZTS1) is a tumor suppressor gene involved in the cell growth activity. It is down-regulated in several human malignancies. It retards the growth in cancer cells by regulating the mitotic process. It restricts Cdk1 (Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 1) activity by steadying the Cdc25C (cell division cycle 25C) phosphatase, a mitotic activator of Cdk1. Deregulation of this gene is associated with breast cancer and may serve as a prognostic factor for breast cancer therapy. It is found to be down-regulated by promoter methylation. This gene is found to be involved in ovarian carcinogenesis.

The Leucine Zipper Tumor Suppressor 1 (LZTS1) is a tumor suppressor gene, located at chromosome 8p22, which is frequently altered in human cancer. In normal tissue, its ubiquitous expression regulates cell mitosis by the stabilization of microtubule networks. LZTS1-deficient mouse

Alterations of human chromosome 8p occur frequently in many tumors. We identified a 1.5-Mb common region of allelic loss on 8p22 by allelotype analysis. cDNA selection allowed isolation of several genes, including FEZ1. The predicted Fez1 protein contained a leucine-zipper

Leucine zipper putative tumor suppressor 1 is down-regulated by promoter methylation, but not frequently, in human malignancies, including breast cancer. Recent studies suggest that leucine zipper putative tumor suppressor 1 is a candidate for the metastasis modifier locus on human

The FEZ1/LZTS1 (LZTS1) protein is frequently downregulated in human cancers of different histotypes. LZTS1 is expressed in normal tissues, and its introduction in cancer cells inhibits cell growth and suppresses tumorigenicity, owing to an accumulation of cells in G2/M. Here

The FEZ1/LZTS1 (FEZ1) gene maps to chromosome 8p22 and is frequently altered in human cancer. FEZ1 has been proposed as a candidate tumour suppressor gene and its loss may contribute to tumour progression. We have analysed the expression of FEZ1
