Biological background
Protein function (datasheet): Signaling adapter that couples activated growth factor receptors to signaling pathways. Participates in a signaling cascade initiated by activated KIT and KITLG/SCF. Isoform p46Shc and isoform p52Shc, once phosphorylated, couple activated receptor tyrosine kinases to Ras via the recruitment of the GRB2/SOS complex and are implicated in the cytoplasmic propagation of mitogenic signals. Isoform p46Shc and isoform p52Shc may thus function as initiators of the Ras signaling cascade in various non-neuronal systems. Isoform p66Shc does not mediate Ras activation, but is involved in signal transduction pathways that regulate the cellular response to oxidative stress and life span. Isoform p66Shc acts as a downstream target of the tumor suppressor p53 and is indispensable for the ability of stress-activated p53 to induce elevation of intracellular oxidants, cytochrome c release and apoptosis. The expression of isoform p66Shc has been correlated with life span (By similarity). Participates in signaling downstream of the angiopoietin receptor TEK/TIE2, and plays a role in the regulation of endothelial cell migration and sprouting angiogenesis. .
Scientific background (datasheet): SHC1 (SHC-transforming protein 1), also known as SHCA, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SHC1 gene. SCOP classifies the 3D structure as belonging to the SH2 domain family. By Southern analysis of somatic cell hybrids followed by both isotopic and fluorescence in situ hybridization, Huebner et al. (1994) assigned the SHC1 gene to 1q21. Yulug et al. (1995) used fluorescence in situ hybridization to map the SHC1 gene to 1q21. By the same method, an SHC-related sequence (SHCL1) was mapped to 17q21-q22. By FISH analysis and sequencing of vectorette library PCR products, Harun et al. (1997) identified SHC1P1, a 3.2-kb processed pseudogene, in Xq12-q13.1. SHC1P1 is 85% identical to mouse Shc p66. Reporter assays showed FKHRL1 transactivates CAT, suggesting a capacity to augment antioxidant scavenging. Nemoto and Finkel (2002) concluded that there is an important functional relationship between forkhead proteins (e.g., FKHRL1), SHC1, and intracellular oxidants, all of which are though to be involved in the aging process in worms and mammals.
Cellular localization (datasheet): Cytoplasm.
Tissue details (datasheet): Widely expressed. Expressed in neural stem cells but absent in mature neurons.
Sequence similarities (datasheet): Contains 1 PID domain.
Research relevance and current trends
- Commonly studied in contexts related to Adapters,Alzheimer's Disease,Cytoplasmic,Neurodegenerative Disease,Neurology Process,Neuroscience,Signal Transduction.
- Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
- Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
- ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
- Immunofluorescence / ICC: Visualize subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; consider fixation/permeabilization compatibility and controls.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
- Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
- Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.
As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
