MLH1 Antibody (Clone 14) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects MLH1 in human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MLH1 is a crucial component of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) system, which plays a vital role in correcting DNA replication errors, thereby maintaining genetic stability. Anti-MLH1 antibody (Clone 14) helps identify deficiencies in MLH1 that can lead to microsatellite instability and an increased risk of developing several types of cancer, particularly hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). MLH1 is predominantly located in the nucleus of cells, where MLH1 participates in the repair of DNA mismatches during replication. Nuclear localization is critical because MLH1 interacts with other proteins involved in the MMR pathway, ensuring that errors are corrected promptly to prevent mutations that could lead to tumorigenesis. Expression of MLH1 is often lost in various cancers, including certain ovarian tumors, which can be attributed to gene methylation or mutations, highlighting MLH1′s importance as a biomarker for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. MLH1 monoclonal antibody (Clone 14) serves as an invaluable tool for researchers studying the mechanisms of DNA repair and the implications of MMR deficiencies in cancer biology.
