18,000+ products cover the ten top research categories, including cancer, metabolism, cardiovascular, neuroscience, and stem cells. Each antibody is crafted with care according to rigorous protocols for immunogen design and preparation, presentation to host animal, and high-affinity purification against the antigen. Quality is embedded in the production process to assure the best antibody for you.
Crown antibodies pass additional stringent quality requirements, including extended control sets, uniform results against multiple biologically relevant cell lines and tissues, and function in multiple applications.
Abgent develops 1000+ new products per year. We provide tools for path-breaking research by developing antibodies that detect a comprehensive library of novel and established targets. For established targets we seek to add antibodies that recognize new epitopes, including post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation and methylation. For new targets we consult with leading experts to accelerate development of antibodies that will propel state-of-the-art research in cellular health and disease.
Individual peptides for SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein. In order to study the specificity of cellular immune responses against SARS CoV-2 and potential immunity caused by other human Corona Viruses, Abcepta provides Spike peptide individually, as pools and in plate. These peptides can be used for antigen specific T-cell stimulation in T-cell assays or T-cell expansion.
All peptides are manufactured in the San Diego, California. Custom peptide services include long peptides (>100 aa), cyclic peptides, difficult sequences, fluorescent labels, phospho-peptides and other post-translational modifications.
The majority of Abcepta antibodies are produced using peptide immunogens. These immuno-specific peptides can be used as blocking agents when using the complementary antibodies in a range of applications.
Abcepta's portfolio of cell lines, tissues and lysates are drawn from a range of species and immortalized cell lines. All our cell lines and lysates are validated in key applications.
These tissue lysates can be used in applications such as SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Whole cell lysates can be used as positive controls for applications such as ELISAs, immunoprecipitation (IP) and Western blotting.
Obtaining high-quality whole cell lysates can be tedious as well as time consuming. Abcepta offers a comprehensive portfolio of whole cell lysates for research use.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

Protein Information
Name
SMO
Synonyms
SMOH
Function
G protein-coupled receptor which associates with the patched protein (PTCH) to transduce hedgehog protein signaling. Binding of sonic hedgehog (SHH) to its receptor patched prevents inhibition of smoothened (SMO) by patched. When active, SMO binds to and sequesters protein kinase A catalytic subunit PRKACA at the cell membrane, preventing PRKACA-mediated phosphorylation of GLI transcription factors which releases the GLI proteins from PRKACA-mediated inhibition and allows for transcriptional activation of hedgehog pathway target genes (By similarity). Required for the accumulation of KIF7, GLI2 and GLI3 in the cilia (PubMed:19592253). Interacts with DLG5 at the ciliary base to induce the accumulation of KIF7 and GLI2 at the ciliary tip for GLI2 activation (By similarity).
Cellular Location
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P56726}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, cilium. Note=Cilium localization is promoted by SHH and is required for activity. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P56726}

Application Protocols
Provided below are standard protocols that you may find useful for product applications.
The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor that interacts with the patched protein, a receptor for hedgehog proteins. The encoded protein tranduces signals to other proteins after activation by a hedgehog protein/patched protein complex.
