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.

Target description

Laminin a2 (UniProt: P24043; also known as Laminin M chain, Laminin-12 subunit alpha, Laminin-2 subunit alpha, Laminin-4 subunit alpha, Merosin heavy chain) is encoded by the LAMA2 (also known as LAMM) gene (Gene ID: 3908) in human. Laminins are a family of heterotrimeric extracellular glycoproteins consisting of alpha, beta, and gamma chains that are bound to each other by disulfide bonds into a cross-shaped molecule comprising one long and three short arms with globules at each end. Laminins mediate the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. Thus far five alpha, three beta, and three gamma subunits are known, which assemble into at least 15 different laminin molecules. Laminin a2 is a glycoprotein with multiple EGF-like domains and is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-22), which is subsequently cleaved off. It is expressed in multiple tissues, including placenta, striated muscle, cardiac muscle, pancreas, lung, spleen, skin, bone, and some regions of the brain. Laminin a2 binds to cells via a high affinity receptor and mediates the attachment, migration and organization of cells into tissues during embryonic development by interacting with other extracellular matrix components. Mutations in LAMA2 gene have been linked Merosin-deficient congenital muscular dystrophy 1A (MDC1A) and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy that results in muscle weakness and atrophy. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
