Application Notes
This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and by western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band at ~ 165 kDa corresponding to full-length protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. For western blotting block the membrane with goat serum. Do not block with non-fat dry milk.

SLIT-2 is thought to act as a molecular guidance cue in cellular migration, and its function appears to be mediated by interaction with roundabout homologue receptors. SLIT-1 and SLIT-2 seem to be essential for midline guidance in the forebrain by acting as repulsive signals preventing inappropriate midline crossing by axons projecting from the olfactory bulb. In spinal chord development SLIT-2 may play a role in guiding commissural axons once they reach the floor plate by modulating the response to netrin. In vitro, SLIT-2 silences the attractive effect of NTN1 but not its growth-stimulatory effect and silencing requires the formation of a ROBO1-DCC complex. In vitro, only commissural axons that crossed the midline responded to SLIT-2. In the developing visual system this protein functions as a repellent for retinal ganglion axons by providing a repulsion that directs these axons along their appropriate paths prior to, and after passage through, the optic chiasm. SLIT-2 is a secreted protein predominantly expressed in fetal lung and kidney, and adult spinal cord. Weak expression is observed in adult adrenal gland, thyroid, trachea and other tissues examined. Multiple isoforms have been reported for this product. Synonyms: Drad-1 antibody, E030015M03Rik antibody, E130320P19Rik antibody, FLJ14420 antibody, Slil 3 antibody, Slil3 antibody
