AEG-1 Antibody / Astrocyte Elevated Gene-1 Antibody recognizes astrocyte elevated gene-1 (AEG-1), also known as metadherin (MTDH) and LYRIC, a multifunctional protein that regulates tumor progression, metastasis, cell survival, and inflammatory signaling. Originally identified as a gene induced in astrocytes by human immunodeficiency virus and tumor necrosis factor alpha, AEG-1 has since emerged as an important mediator of oncogenic signaling and is frequently overexpressed in a wide range of solid tumors, including breast, liver, lung, colorectal, gastric, prostate, ovarian, and brain cancers. Elevated AEG-1 expression is consistently associated with poor prognosis, increased metastatic potential, and resistance to chemotherapy.
AEG-1 participates in numerous signaling pathways that regulate proliferation, apoptosis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, angiogenesis, invasion, and immune responses. It modulates the activity of nuclear factor kappa B, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT, Wnt/beta-catenin, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and other oncogenic pathways while promoting cancer cell survival and metastatic dissemination. AEG-1 also contributes to chemoresistance by enhancing DNA repair mechanisms, suppressing apoptosis, and maintaining cancer stem cell characteristics, making it an attractive target for translational cancer research.
In addition to its role in cancer, AEG-1 contributes to neurobiology, inflammation, antiviral responses, and regulation of the tumor microenvironment. The protein influences interactions between tumor cells and surrounding stromal and immune cells while participating in RNA metabolism, intracellular trafficking, and cellular stress responses. These diverse biological functions continue to expand interest in AEG-1 as both a biomarker and a potential therapeutic target across multiple disease areas.
Clone 2E5G3 is a mouse monoclonal antibody developed for specific detection of AEG-1 in research applications. Its monoclonal design provides consistent recognition of the target protein for studies of tumor progression, metastasis, oncogenic signaling, chemoresistance, and neurobiology. An AEG-1 Antibody is a valuable research tool for investigating astrocyte elevated gene-1, MTDH, cancer progression, metastasis, and oncogenic signaling.
For a broader overview of MTDH biology, oncogenic signaling, and metastasis, see our Metadherin Antibody / MTDH Antibody page.
Optimal dilution of the AEG-1 Antibody / Astrocyte Elevated Gene-1 Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Recombinant human protein (amino acids D101-Q270) was used as the immunogen for the AEG-1 antibody.
After reconstitution, the AEG-1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
