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 4O5 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects mTOR. It targets an epitope within 24 amino acids from the C-terminal half.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 24 amino acids from the C-terminal half of human mTOR.

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in HeLa cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected mTOR in HeLa cell lysate.

Tested Applications

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected mTOR in A549, L6, and C2C12 cell lysates.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected mTOR in human testis tissue sections.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected mTOR in A549 cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Anti-mTOR, clone 4O5 ZooMAb^®, Cat. No. ZRB1780, is a rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically targets mTOR and is tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Target description

Serine/threonine-protein kinase mTOR (UniProt: P42345; also known as EC:2.7.11.1, FK506-binding protein 12-rapamycin complex-associated protein 1, FKBP12-rapamycin complex-associated protein, Mammalian target of rapamycin, mTOR, Mechanistic target of rapamycin, Rapamycin and FKBP12 target 1, Rapamycin target protein 1) is encoded by the MTOR (also known as FRAP, FRAP1, FRAP2, RAFT1, RAPT1) gene (Gene ID: 2475) in human. mTOR is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase that acts as a nutrient sensor and regulates growth factor signaling and cellular metabolism. Its catalytic kinase domain located in the C-terminal region exhibits a strong homology to the catalytic domain of PI 3-kinase and PI 4-kinase. It activates translation initiation in response to both hormonal and nutrient signals by phosphorylating at least two translational modulators, p70S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) and eIF-4E-binding protein 1. Cellular mTOR is composed of two large protein complexes, known as mTORC1 and mTORC2. The mTORC1 complex is sensitive to rapamycin and consists of mTOR, Raptor, and mLST8 and two negative regulators, PRAS40 and DEPTOR. The Raptor unit serves as a scaffolding protein to bridge the interaction between mTOR and its substrates. The mTORC2 complex that is insensitive to rapamycin, contains mTOR, Rictor, Sin1, and mLST8 and the newly identified components Protor, Hsp70 and DEPTOR. This complex plays a role in actin cytoskeleton organization and phosphorylates Akt on Ser473 to fully activate it. Deregulation of multiple elements of the mTOR pathway has been reported in many types of cancers. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
