Expect cross reactivity with SLIT-2 from Tetraodon nigroviridis , as only a single amino acid residue change is found within the immunogen sequence (94% positive by BLAST). The core 13 amino acids of the immunogen are also 100% homologous to SLIT-2 from mouse, rat, bovine and Xenopus laevis.

It plays a role in axonal guidance and cellular migration. Slit2 is expressed in the central nervous system where it contributes to neural development. It is also found in various tissues such as the liver lungs and kidneys. Slit2 mediates its effects primarily through interaction with Roundabout (Robo) receptors.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSlit2 functions in guiding axons during neuronal development and preventing them from straying from their pathways. It complexes with Robo receptors to transmit repulsive directional signals. This interaction is essential in the development of the nervous system ensuring proper neural circuit formation and synaptic connectivity. Besides neural guidance Slit2 also regulates other cellular events like angiogenesis and immune cell migration.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSlit2 participates in the axon guidance pathway where it influences neural network structuring by interacting with Robo receptors and other guidance cues. The Slit-Robo pathway plays an important role in axonal repulsion working alongside the Netrin signaling pathway that involves proteins like DCC and UNC5. This way Slit2 and its pathways balance attractive and repulsive cues to form functional neuronal networks.\u003cbr\u003e\nSlit2 has associations with cancers particularly glioblastoma where it affects tumor cell migration and invasion. Dysregulation of the Slit-Robo signaling may lead to enhanced cancer cell metastasis. Additionally Slit2 is linked to congenital heart diseases where its malfunctioning affects cardiac development. Its interaction with Robo and other proteins like Ephrin can influence these disease processes suggesting a broader role in both developmental and pathological contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848586875049,"sku":"ab7665","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab7665","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
