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 2F12 is a ZooMAb® Mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects a-Synuclein. It target an epitope within 11 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Immunogen

Purified full-length human erythrocyte a-synuclein.

Target description

Alpha-synuclein (UniProt: P37840; also known as Non-A beta component of AD amyloid, Non-A4 component of amyloid precursor, NACP) is encoded by the SNCA (also known as NACP; PARK1) gene (Gene ID: 6622) in human. a-synuclein is abundantly expressed in the brain and is found in a classic amyloid fibril form within the intra-neuronal Lewy body deposits of Parkinson′s disease brains. In its monomeric form it participates in synaptic vesicle exocytosis by enhancing vesicle priming, fusion and dilation of exocytotic fusion pores. It acts by increasing local Ca2+ release from microdomains, which is essential for the enhancement of ATP-induced exocytosis. In its multimeric form it acts as a molecular chaperone assisting in the folding of synaptic fusion components called SNAREs at presynaptic membrane. It is also involved in the regulation of dopamine release and transport. It is also reported to reduce neuronal responsiveness to various apoptotic stimuli, leading to reduced caspase-3 activation. Post-translationally it can be phosphorylated, predominantly on serine residues. Phosphorylation of serine 129 is reported to be selective and extensive in synucleinopathy lesions. Genetic alterations of SNCA gene are reported to result in aberrant polymerization into fibrils, which is associated with several neurodegenerative diseases (synucleinopathies). Mutations in SNCA gene are also known to Parkinson′s disease characterized by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity, and postural instability. The pathology of Parkinson s disease involves progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. 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

300 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.
