INSM1 Antibody in Numerous Tissues (IHC)

INSM1 Antibody in Numerous Tissues (IHC)

Insulinoma-associated protein 1 Rabbit Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody (MSVA-456R) tested on many normal and cancer tissues. The immunohistochemistry staining in these tissues aligns with the expression data in Human Protein Atlas.

Applications & Dilutions

Applications Tested Dillution Protocol Note
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
1:75-1:150
IHC Protocol
Manual Protocol: Freshly cut sections should be used (less than 10 days between cutting and staining). Heat-induced antigen retrieval for 5 minutes in an autoclave at 121°C in pH 7.8 Target Retrieval Solution buffer. Apply the antibody at a dilution of 1:100 at 37°C for 60 minutes. Visualization of bound antibody by the EnVision Kit (Dako, Agilent) according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Summary

Insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) is a developmentally regulated zinc-finger transcription factor. It localizes to the nucleus and is expressed in embryonic issues undergoing neuroendocrine differentiation. INSM1 is not expressed in normal adult tissues but can be found highly expressed in neuroendocrine tumors. INSM1 is positive in 95% of lung small cell carcinoma and 91% of lung large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, compared with 75% and 78% with the combined panel of traditional neuroendocrine markers (synaptophysin, chromogranin, and CD56).INSM1 stains 100% of the atypical carcinoids, typical carcinoids and paragangliomas, but only 3% of adenocarcinomas and 4% of squamous cell carcinomas. Therefore, INSM1 is sensitive and specific to be a single first-line pan-neuroendocrine marker.

Functions

  • Sequence-specific DNA-binding transcriptional regulator that plays a key role in neurogenesis and neuroendocrine cell differentiation during embryonic and/or fetal development. Binds to the consensus sequence 5'-[TG][TC][TC][TT][GA]GGG[CG]A-3' in target promoters. Acts as a transcriptional repressor of NEUROD1 and INS expression via its interaction with cyclin CCND1 in a cell cycle-independent manner. Negatively regulates skeletal muscle-specific gene expression in endocrine cells of the pituitary by inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway. Represses target gene transcription by recruiting chromatin-modifying factors, such as HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, KDM1A and RCOR1 histone deacetylases. Binds to its own promoter, suggesting autoregulation as a self-control feedback mechanism. Competes with histone H3 for the same binding site on the histone demethylase complex formed by KDM1A and RCOR1, and thereby inhibits demethylation of histone H3 at 'Lys-4' (PubMed:23721412). Promotes the generation and expansion of neuronal basal progenitor cells in the developing neocortex. Involved in the differentiation of endocrine cells of the developing anterior pituitary gland, of the pancreas and intestine, and of sympatho-adrenal cells in the peripheral nervous system. Promotes cell cycle signaling arrest and inhibition of cellular proliferation.
