• Species Reactivity

  Mouse

• Specificity

  Detects mouse Gastrokine 1 in direct ELISAs and mouse and rat Gastrokine 1 in Western blots. In Western blots, approximately 10% cross‑reactivity with recombinant human (rh) Gastrokine 1 and no cross-reactivity with rhBlottin is observed.

Background: Gastrokine 1

Gastrokine 1 (GKN1; also CA11 and AMP-18) is a 17-20 kDa member of the Gastrokine protein family. It has limited expression, being restricted to mucous secreting pyloric antrum epithelial cells. Gastrokine 1 appears to promote epithelial cell proliferation and migration, and induce the formation of tight junctions between epithelial cells. By contrast, gastrokine 1 induces Fas expression in tumor cells, resulting in apoptosis. Mature mouse gastrokine 1 is 166 amino acids (aa) in length (aa 36-201 of SwissProt accession Q9CR36 or aa 19-184 of accession NP_079742). Based on the SwissProt sequence, it possesses one BRICHOS domain (aa 71-165) that contains a mitogenic sequence (aa 113-131). There is one potential alternative start site at Met18. Over aa 38-201 (accession Q9CR36), mouse gastrokine 1 shares 65% and 92% aa sequence identity with human and rat gastrokine 1, respectively.
