MLH1 plays a central role in DNA mismatch repair, a critical pathway that maintains genomic stability by correcting replication errors. As a key component of the MutLα heterodimer, MLH1 coordinates the recognition and excision of mismatched nucleotides. Loss of MLH1 function is strongly associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome) and microsatellite instability across multiple tumor types, making it an essential marker in cancer research and clinical diagnostics.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 12E1, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, it eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, ensuring your experimental results remain comparable across studies and over time.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple platforms. In Western blot applications, the antibody detects MLH1 in human cell lines including SW620, HeLa, U-937, and HL-60, with an observed band at approximately 100 kDa. The difference from the predicted 85 kDa molecular weight likely reflects post-translational modifications such as glycosylation or phosphorylation events known to occur on this protein. Immunohistochemistry testing in paraffin-embedded human colorectal cancer tissue confirms reliable nuclear staining patterns consistent with MLH1's function in DNA repair. Flow cytometry validation using Jurkat cells demonstrates clear positive signal separation, supporting intracellular detection workflows.
Whether investigating mismatch repair mechanisms, screening for Lynch syndrome-associated tumors, or studying microsatellite instability phenotypes, this antibody provides the technical reliability needed for meaningful results in cancer biology and genomic stability research.
