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.

Specificity

Clone 1C21 is a ZooMAb^® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM/CD146). It targets an epitope within 18 amino acids from the C-terminal, cytoplasmic domain.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 18 amino acids from the C-terminal, cytoplasmic domain of human Melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM/CD146).

Target description

Cell surface glycoprotein MUC18 (UniProt: P43121; also known as Cell surface glycoprotein P1H12, Melanoma cell adhesion molecule, Melanoma-associated antigen A32, Melanoma-associated antigen MUC18, S-endo 1 endothelial-associated antigen, CD146) is encoded by the MCAM (also known as MUC18) gene (Gene ID: 4162) in human. MCAM/CD146 is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-23), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 24-559), a transmembrane domain (aa 560-583), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 584-646). It contains two Ig-like V-type domains in its N-terminal half and three Ig-like C2-type domains. It is detected in endothelial cells in vascular tissue throughout the body and plays a key role in endothelial signaling by interacting with a variety of ligands. It is involved in angiogenesis, vessel permeability, and leukocyte transmigration. During embryonic migration it is also observed at the surface of neural crest cells. It plays a role in cell adhesion and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. It acts as a surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of Fyn and FAK1 and causes a transient increase in intracellular calcium levels. MCAM/CD146 is associated with tumor progression and the development of metastasis in human malignant melanoma. It is strongly expressed on metastatic lesions and advanced primary tumors. Three forms of CD146 have been described: 2 membrane isoforms, CD146 long (lgCD146) and CD146 short (shCD146), which differ in the cytoplasmic portion, and a soluble form (sCD146). This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

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.

Reconstitution

30 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

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.
