Description: Germinal center-associated signaling and motility protein / GCSAM, also called GCET2 and HGAL or hGAL, contains a putative PDZ-interacting domain, an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM), and two putative SH2 binding sites. In B cells, its expression is specifically induced by interleukin-4. HGAL is specifically expressed in germinal center B-cells, but is absent in mantle and marginal zone B-cells and in the inter-follicular and para-cortical regions in normal tonsils and lymph nodes. Its high degree of specificity for germinal center B-cells makes anti-HGAL an ideal marker for the detection of germinal center-derived B-cell lymphomas. HGAL expression has been used to help elucidate nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL) from cases of diffuse follicle center lymphoma. Additionally, HGAL expression was shown to correlate with survival in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
Immunogen: A portion of amino acids 1-200 was used as the immunogen for the HGAL antibody.
Storage: Aliquot the HGAL antibody and store frozen at -20 °C or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
