Antibodies were purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.\n\u003cb\u003eBackground\u003c\/b\u003e\nMTAP is an enzyme that is essential for the salvage pathway for both adenine and methionine synthesis. MTAP catalyzes the cleavage of 5'-methylthioadenosine into adenine and 5-methylthio-D-ribose-1-phosphate. Adenine is then used to generate AMP whereas 5-methylthio-D-ribose-1-phosphate is converted into methionine (1,2). MTAP is expressed in all normal cells and tissues, although frequently lost in different human tumors, including pancreatic adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, non-small cell lung carcinoma, and breast carcinoma. MTAP is usually codeleted with p16 (cdkN2a\/ARF) (3-5). MTAP overexpression in breast cancer cells inhibits their ability to form colonies in soft agar, thereby implicating its function as a tumor suppressor (6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\n5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase; BDMF; c86fus; DMSFH; DMSMFH; epididymis luminal protein 249; epididymis secretory sperm binding protein; HEL-249; LGMBF; MeSAdo phosphorylase; methylthioadenosine phosphorylase; MSAP; MTA phosphorylase; MTAP; MTAPase; S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R Mk\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 29\nSOURCE: Rabbit","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799487991977,"sku":"4158S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-4158s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
