The gene VANGL1 (vang-like protein 1) is mapped to human chromosome 1p13. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein and a component of the Wnt-PCP (planar cell polarity) pathway. The VANGL1 protein can interact with planar cell polarity (PCP) core proteins Disheveled, Prickle, and Frizzled, KAI1 (metastasis suppressor Kangai-1) protein and ITF (intestinal trefoil factor) protein.
Synonyms: Anti-LPP2; Anti-Loop-tail protein 2 homolog; Anti-Strabismus 2; Anti-Van Gogh-like protein 1; Anti-Vang-like protein 1
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-VANGL1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot and immunostaining.
Biochem Physiol Actions: VANGL1 (vang-like protein 1) is associated with tumor progression in various cancers. In colorectal cancer, it enhances the angiogenesis. In mouse colon cells, overexpression of the VANGL1 gene causes tumorigenicity, invasiveness and adhesion to fibronectin. VANGL1 is upregulated in colon, laryngeal, oral cavity squamous, gastric and hepatocellular cancer tissues. VANGL1 is a planar cell polarity protein. It plays a significant role in embryogenesis and is required for normal embryonic development.
