• Target description: Endoglin (UniProt: P17813; also known as CD105) is encoded by the ENG (also known as END) gene (Gene ID: 2022) in human. Endoglin is a single-pass type I, disulfide-linked, membrane glycoprotein that is detected on placenta and umbilical vein endothelial cells. It can also form heterodimeric complex with the signaling receptors for TGFb. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-25), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 26-586), a transmembrane domain (aa 587-611), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 612-658). Endoglin also contains a zona pellucida (ZP) domain (aa 363-533) that mediates its dimerization. Endoglin is reported to play an important role in the regulation of angiogenesis. It is also required for normal structure and integrity of adult vasculature. It regulates the migration of vascular endothelial cells and regulates the change in shape of endothelial cells in response to blood flow thereby causing vascular remodeling and establishment of normal vascular morphology during angiogenesis. It has been also reported to play a role in the binding of endothelial cells to integrins and/or other RGD receptors. Endoglin also serves as a co-receptor for TGFb and is involved in the TGFb/BMP signaling cascade leading to the activation of SMAD transcription factors. Mutations in ENG gene have been linked to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia that is characterized by recurrent epistaxis and gastro-intestinal hemorrhage. 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.
