Product Details

α-VHL antibody is an affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against a recombinant VHL protein.


von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a hereditary cancer with a predilection for the central nervous system and retina (1). The von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor gene is mutated in families with von Hippel-Lindau disease and encodes a protein (VHL) of 213 amino acids with an acidic pentapeptide motif in the N-terminus (2-4). Mutations in the VHL gene result in constitutive expression of many hypoxi-induced genes, at least in part because of increases in the cellular level of hypoxia-inducible transcription factor HIF-1a (5). VHL protein binds to elongin B, elongin C, and Cul2 to form a stable complex that targets hypoxia inducibal factors (HIFs) for degradation and transcriptional regulation (6,7). In addition, VHL protein has also been shown to interact with specific protein kinase C isoforms (8), histone deacetylases and HIF-1 inhibitor (FIH-1) (9).

Each vial contains 100 μg IgG in 0.1 ml of PBS.

Specificity
α-VHL reacts with the VHL protein in HeLa nuclear extract by Western Blotting. Recommended dilution range for Western blot analysis: 1:2000-1:5000. Recommended starting dilution: 1:2000.

Storage
Aliquot and store at –20°C.
