VSIG1 (V-set and Ig domain-containing protein 1; also Glycoprotein A34) is a variably glycosylated 55‑70 kDa member of the JAM family of proteins. It has restricted expression, being limited to testicular germ cells plus pancreatic duct and gastric epithelium. VSIG1 is likely to serve as an adhesion molecule. Mature human VSIG1 is 366 amino acids (aa) in length. It is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein that contains a 211 aa extracellular domain (ECD). The ECD contains one V-type (aa 22‑132) and one C2-type Ig-like domain (aa 140‑227).

Western blot analysis of ChT1 on different lysates. Proteins were transferred to a PVDF membrane and blocked with 5% NFDM/TBST for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody (HA500237, 1/1,000) was used in 5% NFDM/TBST at room temperature for 2 hours. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG - HRP Secondary Antibody (HA1001) at 1:200,000 dilution was used for 1 hour at room temperature. Positive control: Lane 1: Mouse testis tissue lysate Lane 2: Rat testis tissue lysate
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human ovarian carcinoma tissue using anti-ChT1 antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes.The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HA500237, 1/200) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human stomach tissue using anti-ChT1 antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes.The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HA500237, 1/500) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
