Research Findings and Applications

The antibody enables critical insights into GNL1’s role in oncology and cellular biology, including:

Role in Cancer Progression

GNL1 is upregulated in cancers (e.g., colon, breast, ovarian) and promotes cell survival via:

  • Antiapoptotic signaling: Inhibiting caspase-7/8 cleavage and modulating Bcl-2 family proteins (e.g., Bcl-xL, survivin) .

  • Cell cycle regulation: Inducing hyperphosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (pRb) to drive S-phase progression .

  • AKT/p21 pathway activation: Stabilizing cytoplasmic p21 via AKT-mediated phosphorylation, bypassing p53-dependent growth arrest .

MechanismExperimental EvidenceCitation
Apoptosis inhibitionReduced cleaved caspase-7/8 and PARP in GNL1-overexpressing HCT116 cells
Cell cycle progressionIncreased BrdU incorporation and E2F1 expression in GNL1-transfected cells
p21 stabilizationCytoplasmic retention of p21 via AKT phosphorylation in GNL1-expressing cells

Interactions and Pathway Crosstalk

GNL1 interacts with ribosomal protein S20 (RPS20), which stabilizes GNL1 and amplifies its pro-proliferative effects . Antibody-based co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) confirmed this interaction in HCT116 and AGS cells .

Validation and Protocol Guidelines

The antibody’s performance is validated across multiple platforms:

Target Background

Function
This antibody targets GNL1, a protein that activates ARF proteins by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. GNL1 plays a crucial role in vesicular protein sorting and acts as the major regulator of retrograde Golgi to endoplasmic reticulum trafficking. It is also involved in the endocytosis process and may function redundantly with GNOM. GNL1 regulates vesicle trafficking required for the coordinated polar localization of auxin efflux carriers, which in turn determines the direction of auxin flow. It mediates the endocytosis of PIN2 from the plasma membrane to endosomal compartments and is required for the maintenance of endoplasmic reticulum morphology.
