Reacts with:Mouse, Rat,
Applications:WBSee reactivity dataSee the reactivity data table below for information on validated species and application combinations.,
Immunogen:Synthetic Peptide within Mouse Slit1 aa 450-550 conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Haemocyanin. The exact immunogen used to generate this antibody is proprietary information.Q80TR4,
Specificity:The smaller strong bands observed in the WB shown are likely to be cleavage products. A number of cleavage products for both Slit1 and Slit2 are reported in the literature resulting from alternate splicing and range from ~40kDa -160kDa, (Little et al, 2002).This affinity purified antibody is directed against mouse SLIT-1 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest reactivity with this protein from mouse and rat based on 100% homology for the immunogen sequence. Expect cross reactivity with SLIT-1 from human, chicken and frog sources, as only a single amino acid residue change is found within the immunogen sequence (94% positive by BLAST). Cross reactivity with SLIT-1 homologues from other sources has not been determined.

Slit1 also known as Slit homolog 1 protein is a large extracellular matrix protein with a mass of approximately 200 kDa. This protein is expressed in the developing and adult nervous system particularly in the brain. It contributes to axon guidance and cellular migration through its interaction with Robo receptors. By serving as a secreted ligand Slit1 plays a critical role in nervous system development guiding neurons to their correct positions.
Biological function summary
Slit1 facilitates the formation of neural circuits by promoting axonal repulsion during neural development. It interacts as part of a receptor-ligand complex with Robo receptors on the cell surface which triggers intracellular signaling cascades. Slit1 also influences the shaping of synaptic connections and acts in a chemorepulsive manner ensuring appropriate neural wiring. Its presence aids cellular organization impacting cell division and movement in the nervous system.
Pathways
Slit1 protein is an integral player in the axon guidance and neuronal network formation pathways. In these processes it modulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics and affects growth cone collapse through signaling with proteins like Robo1 and Robo2. The Slit-Robo signaling pathway works to coordinate cell movement and communication within the developing brain aligning with pathways that involve other guidance cues like Netrins and Semaphorins for balanced nervous system organization.
Slit1 has connections to neurological conditions such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders. Its dysfunction can disrupt normal neural pathways contributing to improper brain connectivity and circuit formation. Slit1 interacts with other proteins implicated in these disorders such as Netrin-1 which supports its role in maintaining neural network integrity. Understanding Slit1's involvement provides insights into potential therapeutic targets for treating such developmental and neurological disorders.
