ECM1 Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (038), 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 Mouse ECM1
• ECM1, also referred to as extracellular matrix protein 1, is a protein that plays a significant role in regulating extracellular matrix organization and cell adhesion
• It is expressed in various tissues, including the skin, lung, and liver, and is involved in the development and progression of several diseases, including cancer and dermatological disorders
• The protein interacts with several extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagen and fibronectin, and is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, migration, and invasion
• ECM1 is also involved in endochondral bone formation, angiogenesis, and tumor biology
• It interacts with various extracellular and structural proteins, contributing to the maintenance of skin integrity and homeostasis
• Mutations in this gene are associated with lipoid proteinosis disorder (also known as hyalinosis cutis et mucosae or Urbach-Wiethe disease) that is characterized by generalized thickening of skin, mucosae, and certain viscera
• Different isoforms of ECM1 have been described in alternatively spliced transcript variants
• Diseases associated with ECM1 include Lipoid Proteinosis Of Urbach And Wiethe and Lichen Sclerosus Et Atrophicus.
