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 1O16 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1). It targets an epitope within 17 amino acids from the internal region.
Immunogen
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 17 amino acids from the internal region of human Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1).
Application

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound NFATc1 peptide with a KD of 1.0 x 10-12 in an affinity binding assay.
Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA) Analysis: A serial of dilutions from a representative lot detected c-Myc/DKk-tagged, full-length, recombinant Human NFATc1 protein.
Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected NFATc1 in Human tonsil tissue sections.
Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.
Target description
NuCLEAR™ factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (UniProt: O95644; also known as NF-ATc1, NFATc1, NFAT transcription complex cytosolic component, NF-ATc, NFATc) is encoded by the NFATC1 (also known as NFAT2, NFATC) gene (Gene ID: 4772) in human. NFATc1 is member of the multicomponent NFATC transcription complex that consists of at least two components, a pre-existing cytoplasmic component NFATC2 and an inducible NuCLEAR™ component NFATc1. NFATC proteins bind to DNA as monomers. NFATc1 that is expressed in thymus, spleen, and T-cells, plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes, especially in the induction of the IL-2 or IL-4 gene transcription. NFATc1 is reported to control the cytotoxicity of mouse cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Upon primary stimulation of lymphocytes, the induction of NFATc1 occurs during the G1 phase of cell cycle. Due to an auto-regulatory feedback circuit high levels of NFATc1 are maintained during persistent immune receptor stimulation. It regulates not only the activation and proliferation, but also the differentiation and programmed death of T-lymphocytes as well as lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells. NFATc1 undergoes phosphorylation by NFATC-kinase and GSK3β and the phosphorylation induces its NFATc1 NuCLEAR™ exit. Its dephosphorylation by calcineurin promotes NuCLEAR™ import. The dephosphorylated form contains two unmasked NuCLEAR™ localization signals, which allow translocation of the protein to the nucleus. Ten different isoforms of NFATc1 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing and alternative initiation. 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.
