• Target description: Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1β (UniProt: P35680; also known as HNF-1-beta, HNF-1B, Homeoprotein LFB3, Transcription factor 2, TCF-2, Variant hepatic nuclear factor 1, vHNF1) is encoded by the HNF1B (also known as TCF2) gene (Gene ID: 6928) in human. HNF-1β is a transcription factor of the HNF1 homeobox family that binds to the inverted palindrome 5′-GTTAATNATTAAC-3′. It binds to DNA as a dimer. It controls endoderm development and is shown to be crucial for pancreatic and renal development. It is also involved in the hepatobiliary specification of hepatoblasts to cholangiocytes during liver development and is strongly expressed throughout adult biliary epithelium. Over-expression of HNF-1β is associated with pathological subtype of primary tumor and its expression in hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with the change of phenotype on recurrence. Mutations in HNF1B are known to cause Renal cysts and diabetes syndrome (RCAD), an autosomal dominant disorder comprising non-diabetic disease resulting from abnormal renal development. HNF1B knockout mice are shown to suffer from severe neonatal cholestasis and jaundice due to the abnormally developed gall bladder and dysfunctional intrahepatic bile ducts. 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.
