• Application: Quality Control TestingWestern Blotting Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution of this antibody detected GST/His-tagged recombinant human Fibrillin-1.Tested applicationsImmunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Fibrillin-1 in human placenta tissue sections.Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound Fibrillin 1 recombinant fragment with a KD of 1.7 x 10-6 in an affinity binding assay.Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
• Target description: Fibrillin-1 (UniProt: P35555; also known as FBN1) is encoded by the FBN1 (also known as FBN) gene (Gene ID: 2200) in human. Fibrillin-1 is a structural component of the 10-12 nm diameter microfibrils of the extracellular matrix that conveys both structural and regulatory properties to load-bearing connective tissues. Fibrillin-1-containing microfibrils provide long-term force bearing structural support. Fibrillin-1 is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-24) and a propeptide (aa 25-44) that are cleaved off to generate the mature Fibrillin-1, which can be further cleaved by furin between residues 2731 and 2732 to produce asprosin (aa 2732-2871). Asprosin serves as a hormone that targets the liver to increase plasma glucose levels. It promotes glucose release from hepatocytes by activating protein kinase A. Fibrillin-1 is reported to play a role in tissue homeostasis through specific interactions with growth factors, such as the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP), growth and differentiation factors, and latent TGF-beta binding proteins. It is also reported to regulate osteoblast maturation by controlling TGF-beta bioavailability and calibrating TGF-beta and BMP levels. It is also shown to negatively regulate osteoclastogenesis by binding and sequestering an osteoclast differentiation and activation factor TNFSF11. Mutations in FBN1 gene are known to cause Marfan syndrome, a disorder of the connective tissue that affects skeletal, ocular, and cardiovascular systems. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
