• Target description: mRNA (2′-O-methyladenosine-N(6)-)-methyltransferase (UniProt: Q9H4Z3; also known as EC:2.1.1.62, Cap-specific adenosine methyltransferase, CAPAM, hCAPAM, Phosphorylated CTD-interacting factor 1, hPCIF1, Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 121) is encoded by the PCIF1 (also known as C20orf67, CAPAM, PPP1R121) gene (Gene ID: 63935) in human. PCIF1 is a ubiquitously expressed, evolutionarily conserved protein with Cap-specific adenosine methyltransferase activity. It catalyzes the formation of N6,2′-O-dimethyladenosine cap (m6A(m)) by methylating the adenosine at the second transcribed position of capped mRNAs. It is reported to catalyzes only 5′ m6Am methylation of capped mRNAs but not internal m6A methylation in vitro and in vivo. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is a major modification of messenger RNAs that plays a critical role in RNA metabolism and function. It plays key regulatory role in cell differentiation, neuronal function, and cancer cell proliferation. PCIF1 is recruited to the early elongation complex of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) via interaction with the C-terminal serine phosphorylated domain and mediates formation of m6A(m) co-transcriptionally. It contains a WW domain (aa 43-77) in its N-terminal region that is reported to be sufficient for direct and specific interaction with the phosphorylated C-terminal domain of RNAPII. It has two nuclear localization signals that are located in amino acids 109-113 and 669-684. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
