Beschreibung

General description

CD9 antigen (UniProt: P21926; also known as 5H9 antigen; Cell growth-inhibiting gene 2 protein; Leukocyte antigen MIC3; Motility-related protein; MRP-1; Tetraspanin-29; Tspan-29; p24) is encoded by the CD9 (also known as MIC3, TSPAN29; IG2) gene (Gene ID: 928) in human.  CD9 is a multi-pass membrane protein of the tetraspanin (TM4SF) family with three cytoplasmic domains, four transmembrane domains, and two extracellular domains. It forms both disulfide-linked homodimers and higher homooligomers and heterooligomers with other members of the tetraspanin family. It is expressed in a variety of hematopoietic and epithelial cells and displays strong expression in platelets where it mediates platelet activation and aggregation upon binding to monoclonal antibodies. In unstimulated platelets, it is palmitoylated at a low, basal level, which increases when platelets are activated by thrombin. In macrophages, it is shown to associate with CD81 and β1 and β2 integrins and prevent macrophage fusion into multinucleated giant cells that are specialized in ingesting complement-opsonized large particles.  At the cell surface of oocytes, it plays a KEY^® role in sperm-egg fusion, possibly by organizing multiprotein complexes and the morphology of the membrane required for the fusion. CD9 is also involved in cell adhesion, cell motility, and tumor metastasis and its down-regulation correlates with reduced cancer cell growth. It can hamper metastasis formation by inhibiting integrin-mediated motility. Lower expression of CD9 is associated with weaker matrix adhesion and diffuse tumor cell growth in vitro. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, Affinity^™, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

This product aligns with one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This antibody is Preservative-free, produced without the harm or sacrifice of animals and exceptionally stable to allow for ambient shipping and storage if needed and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency".

Biochem/physiol Actions

Clone 2K2-k is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects CD9. It targets an epitope within 24 amino acids from the second extracellular domain.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

Preparation Note

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
