Schlafen family member 5 (SLFN5) belongs to the Schlafen (SLFN) family of proteins and is induced by interferons. It is present in the nucleus of melanocytes and melanoma cells.
Synonyms: Anti-Schlafen family member 5
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-SLFN5 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org). Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.
Biochem Physiol Actions: Schlafen family member 5 (SLFN5) has been shown to be involved in regulating the motility and growth of renal cell carcinoma cells. It regulates the expression of genes like matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP1), MMP13 and other genes involved in malignant cell motility. Studies have shown that SLFN5 participates in malignant melanoma cells growth and invasion in anchorage-independent manner.
