Anti-FBN1 antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: Fibrillin 1 (FBN1) is a 350kDa glycoprotein and a major constituent of microfibrils. The gene encoding it is localized on human chromosome 15. FBN1, which is a 2871 amino acid protein, has seven transforming growth factor-β1 binding protein-like (TB) domains and epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) domains.
• Immunogen: Fibrillin-1 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
• Application: Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Fibrillin 1 (FBN1) is an extracellular regulator of transforming growth factor β-1 (TGF-β1). It is a cytokine which is involved in the transdifferentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and also regulates microfibril assembly and stability. Mutations in the gene encoding FBN1 are known to be associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS).
• Features and Benefits: Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
