General description

LGN is also known as G-protein-signaling modulator 2 (GPSM2). LGN has an important role in cellular structure and spindle pole orientation. LGN also stabilizes the apical complex during neuroblast divisions. LGN defects lead to Chudley-McCullough syndrome as well as a multiple micronuclei phenotype due to chromosomal mis-segregation and cell division errors.

Specificity

Other Homologies: Human (85% sequence homology), Chicken (75% sequence homology).

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to mouse LGN.

Application

Anti-LGN Antibody is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody, that targets LGN & has been tested in western blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected LGN in mouse E16 brain tissue lysate.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in rat E16 heart tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected LGN in rat E16 heart tissue lysate.

Target description

~77 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands may be observed at ~30 kDa, ~60 kDa, and ~70 kDa in some cell lysates.

Physical form

During organogenesis, precise control of spindle orientation balances proliferation and differentiation. In the developing murine epidermis, planar and perpendicular divisions yield symmetric and asymmetric fate outcomes, respectively. Classically, division axis specification involves centrosome migration and spindle rotation, events occurring early

Trafficking of transducin (Gαt) in rod photoreceptors is critical for adaptive and modulatory responses of the retina to varying light intensities. In addition to fine-tuning phototransduction gain in rod outer segments (OSs), light-induced translocation of Gαt to the rod synapse

mTOR activation is essential and sufficient to cause polycystic kidneys in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and other genetic disorders. In disease models, a sharp increase of proliferation and cyst formation correlates with a dramatic loss of oriented cell division (OCD).

Oriented cell divisions are critical for the formation and maintenance of structured epithelia. Proper mitotic spindle orientation relies on polarised anchoring of force generators to the cell cortex by the evolutionarily conserved protein complex formed by the Gαi subunit of
