• Specificity: Clone 6E5 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Erythropoietin.
• Immunogen: His-tagged full-length mature recombinant human Erythropoietin (without the signal peptide).
• Application: Anti-Erythropoietin, clone 6E5 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1366, a recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody that targets Erythropoietin and is tested in Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
• Target description: Erythropoietin (UniProt: P01588; also known as Epoetin, EPO) is encoded the EPO gene (Gene ID: 2056) in human. EPO is an acidic glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-27) that is subsequently cleaved off in the endoplasmic reticulum and the mature protein undergoes glycosylation in the Golgi prior to its release. EPO is mainly produced by peritubular fibroblasts in the renal cortex and to some extent by the liver in adult mammals. In fetal and neonatal mammals, it produced in the liver. EPO is the principle regulator of red blood cell production by stimulating the division and differentiation of bone marrow erythroid progenitor cells in response to anemia and hypoxia. It is induced by ischemic preconditioning by activation of (HIF)-1alpha. It is reported to contribute to angiogenesis in response to ischemia through upregulation of VEGF/VEGFR. It binds to EPO receptor that leads to receptor dimerization and JAK2 activation that results in activation of specific downstream effectors, including STAT1 and STAT3. Endogenous EPO consists of three N-linked polysaccharide groups and one O-linked group. Although its glycosylation slightly reduces its biological activity but is shown to be essential for ensuring its prolonged circulation in the plasma. The N-glycans in its structure protect it from the action of proteases and in the modulation of its receptor binding affinity. Mutations in EPO gene can cause microvascular complications in type II diabetic subjects and erythrocytosis. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
