Sonic Hedgehog/Shh Antibody [Allophycocyanin] Summary

• Description: This conjugate is made on demand and is not held in inventory. Each order represents a unique lot. All conjugates are generated using validated conjugation protocols and meet strict degree of labeling (F/P) specifications; additional information is available upon request. The antibody concentration is provided on the individual product label.
  
  For specialized conjugation needs, like large quantities, specific concentrations, and defined F/P ratios, bulk and custom antibody conjugation services are available.
• Immunogen: E. coli-derived recombinant mouse Sonic Hedgehog
  Cys25-Ser437 with a Lys122Arg substitution
  Accession # Q62226
• Specificity: Detects mouse Shh C-terminal peptide in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In these formats, less than 5% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse (rm) Dhh C-terminal peptide is observed and less than 1% cross-reactivity with a 6X histidine-tagged rmShh N‑terminal peptide (amino acids 25-198) is observed. Detects human and mouse Sonic Hedgehog protein in Western blots. Shh C-terminal peptide specific IgG was purified by first passing the goat sera over a mouse Shh N-terminal peptide affinity column. The unbound fraction from the mouse Shh N-terminal peptide affinity column was subsequently purified using a mouse Shh C-terminal peptide affinity column.

Background

Sonic Hedgehog Protein (SHH, VHH-1) belongs to hedgehog protein family which includes Indian Hh, and Desert Hh. Hh family is involved in the cell fate and patterning during embryonic development, homeostasis, and adult tissue renewal (1). Similar to other member in the family, SHH binds to the patched (PTC) cell surface receptor, releasing the signal transducer Smoothened (Smo) to transmit the Hh signal into the cell and activate transcription of the target gene (2). Precursor SHH is autocatlytically cleaved into two subunits, N-terminal and C-terminal products. Soluble N-terminal product is involved in the signaling activity, while C-product displays an autoproteolysis activity on the precursor and a cholesterol transferase activity on the N-terminal product. C-terminal product attaches a cholesterol moiety to the N-terminal product, preventing N-terminal product diffusion within the developing embryo (3). A defect in SHH has been linked in holoprosencephaly type 3 (HPE3), in which developing forebrain fails to separate into right and left hemispheres, and ocular coloboma (4).
