• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 22 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Trans-Golgi network glycoprotein 46 (TGN46).
• Application: Quality Control TestingEvaluated by Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) in Human colon tissue sections.Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution of this antibody detected TGN46 in Human colon tissue sections.Tested ApplicationsImmunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected TGN46 in Human liver tissue sections.Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected TGN46 in A549 cells.Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound TGN46 peptide with a KD of 5.5 x 10-9 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: Trans-Golgi network integral membrane protein 2 (UniProt: O43493; also known as Trans-Golgi network glycoprotein 46, TGN38 homolog, hTGN46, Trans-Golgi network glycoprotein 48, hTGN48, Trans-Golgi network glycoprotein 51, hTGN51, Trans-Golgi network protein 2) is encoded by the TGOLN2 (also known as TGN46, TGN51) gene (Gene ID: 10618) in human. The trans-Golgi network (TGN) is a tubulo-vesicular structure that lies adjacent to the trans-most cisternae of the Golgi stack. It is the major site where secretory and membrane proteins are sorted to the plasma membrane, lysosomes, endosomes, and secretory granules. TGN46 is a widely expressed, single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-21), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 22-381), a transmembrane domain (aa 382-402) and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 403-437). It is involved in regulating membrane traffic to and from trans-Golgi network. It cycles between the trans-Golgi network and the cell surface returning via endosomes. Its retrograde transport involves the tethering, docking, fusion, and post translational modification of TGN proteins. This ZooMAb® 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 with 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.
