A synthetic peptide from human DOG-1 protein (MSDFVDWVIPDIPKDISQQIHKEKVLMVELFMREEQDKQQL-LETCMEKERQKDEPPCNHHNTKACPDSLGSPAPSHAYHGGVL), conjugated to a carrier protein.

Cell Surface and Cytoplasm

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor Marker

Expression of DOG-1 protein is elevated in the gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), c-kit signaling-driven mesenchymal tumors of the GI tract. DOG-1 is rarely expressed in other soft tissue tumors, which, due to appearance, may be difficult to diagnose. Immunoreactivity for DOG-1 has been reported in 97.8 percent of scorable GISTs, including all c-kit negative GISTs. Overexpression of DOG-1 has been suggested to aid in the identification of GISTs, including Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha mutants that fail to express c-kit antigen. The overall sensitivity of DOG1 and c-kit in GISTs is nearly identical: 94.4% vs. 94.7%.
