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.

標靶描述
Spectrin alpha chain, non-erythrocytic 1 (UniProt: Q13813; also known as Alpha-II spectrin, Fodrin alpha chain, Spectrin non-erythroid alpha subunit) is encoded by the SPTAN1 (also known as NEAS, SPTA2) gene (Gene ID: 6709) in human. Spectrin α is a structural protein that is abundantly present in neurons of the central nervous system and is cleaved into signature fragments by proteases involved in necrotic and apoptotic cell death. It is one of the primary targets cleaved by activated caspases during apoptosis. The full-length protein can be cleaved to yield an N-terminal product of ~150 kDa, and C-terminal products of ~120 and ~35 kDa. Spectrin α is involved in secretion and it interacts with calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner and is thus candidate for the calcium-dependent movement of the cytoskeleton at the membrane. It has two calcium-binding regions (aa 2336-2347 and 2379-2390). Its µ-calpain cleavage site is localized at Tyr-Gly (aa 1176-1177). Phosphorylation of Tyrosine 1176 is shown to reduce sensitivity to cleavage by calpain in vitro. Plasma levels of calpain-cleaved Spectrin α N-terminal fragment (SNTF) serves as a useful marker for mild to severe traumatic brain injury and SNTF immunostaining can also reveal previously undetected traumatic brain injury. Mutations in SPTAN1 gene are known to cause early infantile epileptic encephalopathy that is characterized by seizures associated with hypsarrhythmia, profound mental retardation with lack of visual attention and speech development. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

外觀
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.
重構
0.03 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
儲存和穩定性
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.
