SMAD4 (DPC4) [B-8]
Description Signaling from the ligand-activated membrane receptor serine/ threonine kinases to nuclear targets is mediated by a set of evolutionarily conserved proteins known as DCP4. Upon ligand binding, the receptors of the TGF-β family phosphorylate SMAD proteins (SMAD1 and SMAD 2). These proteins then move into the nucleus, where they activate transcription. To carry out this function, the receptor activated SMAD1 and 2 require association with the product of deleted in pancreatic carcinoma, locus 4 (DPC4), also known as SMAD4. SMAD4/DPC4 is also implicated as a tumor suppressor, since it is inactivated in more than half of pancreatic carcinomas and to a lesser extent in a variety of other cancers. The lack of SMAD4 expressionis is present in approximately 80% of cases of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but rarely in endometrial (0%), colorectal (0%), ovarian (3%), lung (0%), breast (2% adenocarcinomas, and malignant melanoma (4%). SMAD4 is an important marker for confirming a diagnosis of pancreat Host Mouse Application ELISA, Flow cytometry (FC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC),Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Western Blot (WB) Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat -

Smoothelin [R4A]
Description Smoothelin is a constituent of the smooth muscle cell cytoskeleton protein exclusively found in differentiated smooth muscle cells (SMC). Cells with SMC-like characteristics, such as myofibroblasts and myoepithelial cells, as well as skeletal and cardiac muscle do not contain smoothelin. Distinguishing between bladder muscularis mucosae (MM) and muscularis propria (MP) muscle bundles is crucial for accurate staging of bladder carcinoma. Strong smoothelin expression is nearly exclusively observed in muscularis propria. The staining pattern of MP (strongly positive) and MM (negative or weakly positive) makes this technique an attractive diagnostic tool for the sometimes difficult task of staging bladder urothelial carcinoma, such as in transurethral resection specimens of urinary bladder tumors. Differentiating between smooth muscle tumors and other mesenchymal neoplasms of the GI tract can be challenging in small biopsies. Anti-smoothelin immunostaining can be helpful in differentiating Host Mouse Application Immunocytochemistry (ICC),Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Western Blot (WB) Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat, Chicken -

Somatostatin Receptor Type 2/SSTR2 [A8]
Description Somatostatin is a peptide hormone that regulates the endocrine system and affects neurotransmission and cell proliferation via interaction with G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and inhibition of the release of numerous secondary hormones. This hormone has two active forms produced by alternative cleavage of a single preproprotein: somatostatin-14, composed of 14 amino acids and somatostatin-28, a prohormone composed of 28 residues. Somatostatin is secreted by D-cells of the islets of Langerhans in pancreas, endocrine cells of the gastrointestinal tract, bronchopulmonary system, thymus, and C cells of the thyroid. Somatostatin positive cells may also be present in medullary thyroid carcinomas, C cell hyperplasia, thymic tumors and pulmonary small cell carcinomas. An antibody to Somatostatin can be used to identify pancreatic islet cell hyperplasia as well as islet cell tumors, such as somatostatinomas.

SOX10 [SOX10/1074]
Description SOX10 is a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic development and in the determination of cell fate. During development, SOX10 first appears in the forming neural crest and continues to be expressed in Schwann cells. It is important for differentiation, maturation and maintenance of Schwann cells and melanocytes. In normal tissues, SOX10 is expressed in Schwann cells and glial cells in the nervous system. It is also detected in melanocytes and epithelial cells of salivary gland and mammary gland. In tumor tissues, SOX10 labels melanoma and the tumor of neural crest origin. A recent study reported the expression of SOX10 in basal-like, unclassified triple-negative breast carcinoma. Thus, breast carcinoma must be considered in the differential diagnosis of melanoma for a SOX10-positive metastatic malignant neoplasm.

SOX2 [SOX2/1791]
Description Anti-SOX2 recognizes lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Extensive anti-SOX-2 staining is seen in over 90% of LSCC and largely parallels p63 expression. However, only 4.5% of lung adenocarcinoma (LACA) is positive for SOX-2. In a study by Sholl et al, 29% of LACA cases exhibited at least focal p63 expression. Combined p63 and SOX-2 expression was seen in 94% of LSCC and 12% of LACA with a statistically significant difference (P<0.0001) versus p63 alone. Anti-CK 5&6 had a good sensitivity but poor specificity for LSCC. Combined anti-CK 5&6 and anti-p63 positivity was seen in 93% of LSCC and 24% of LACA. Anti-CK 5&6+/ anti-p63+/anti-SOX-2+ was detected in 93% of LSCC and only 9% of LACA. These results indicate that the sensitivity of anti-p63 is equally high but its specificity is similarly variable; it was seen at least focally in close to 30% of LACA. When used together, anti-p63+/anti-SOX-2+ applied to the same tumor cell population is >90% specific for LSCC.
