Description
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Netrin receptor DCC(DCC) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human, Mouse, Rat.
Background: DCC(Deleted IN Colorectal Carcinoma) also known as CRC18 or CRCR1. The DCC gene encodes a functional receptor for netrin and mediates axon outgrowth and the steering response. Heterozygous loss-of-function mutations in DCC can result in congenital mirror movements. Alterations in DCC occur frequently in colorectal cancer. Studying a YAC contig containing the entire DCC coding region, they showed that the DCC gene spans approximately 1.4 Mb. Vogelstein(1995) stated that the precise location of the DCC gene was though to be 18q21.3. DCC is a receptor or a component of a receptor that mediates the effects of netrin-1 on commissural axons, and they complement genetic evidence for interactions between DCC and netrin homologs in C. DCC protein could be detected in varying abundance in all specimens of normal colonic mucosa analyzed as well as in all specimens of adenomatous polyps, colorectal carcinoma and colorectal liver metastases. DCC may function as a tumor-suppressor protein by inducing apoptosis in settings in which ligand is unavailable(for example, during metastasis or tumor growth beyond local blood supply) through functional caspase cascades by a mechanism that requires cleavage of DCC at asp1290. Stein et al.(2001) concluded that DCC plays a central role in netrin signaling of axon growth and guidance independent of A2B receptor activation
