Carbonic Anhydrase VB Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (008), Invitrogen™

Description

• This product is preservative free
• It is recommended to add sodium azide to avoid contamination (final concentration 0.05%-0.1%)
• Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems
• The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits
• Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production
• The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire
• This antibody has specificity for Human Carbonic Anhydrase VB/CA5B
• Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are members of a large family of zinc metalloenzymes responsible for catalyzing the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide.CAs show extensive diversity in their distribution and subcellular localization.They are involved in a variety of biological processes, including calcification, bone resorption, respiration, acid-base balance and the formation of aqueous humor, saliva, gastric juice and cerebrospinal fluid
• CA VB, also known as carbonate dehydratase VB, is one of two isoforms of CA V
• It localizes to the mitochondria and is involved in metabolic processes
• CA VB is predominantly expressed in heart, pancreas, lung, placenta, kidney and skeletal muscle
• It exhibits highest homology with family member CA VA (the second isoform of CA V); however, unlike CA VA, it is not expressed in the liver, suggesting that it plays a significantly different physiological role.
