CST, 73819SF, MTAP (E5R1I) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying MTAP. Validated for Western Blotting,IHC Leica Bond,Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, MTAP (E5R1I) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #73819) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #74683. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 74683 Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity MTAP (E5R1I) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total human MTAP protein. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the amino terminus of human MTAP protein. Background MTAP 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).
