• Specificity: Clone 1J8 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects EZH Inhibitory protein (EZHIP). It targets an epitope within 18 amino acids from the N-terminal half.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 18 amino acids from the N-terminal half of human EZH Inhibitory Protein (EZHIP).
• Application: Quality Control TestingEvaluated by Western Blotting in lysate from HEK293 cells transfected with EZHIP.Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:50,000 dilution of this antibody detected EZHIP/CXorf67 in lysate from HEK293 cells stably transfected with N-terminal FLAG-tagged human EZHIP. Tested applicationsImmunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected EZHIP/CXorf67 in human testis tissue sections.Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected EZHIP/CXorf67 in U2OS cell line.Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
• Target description: EZH inhibitory protein (UniProt: Q86X51; also known as EZHIP) is encoded by the EZHIP (also known as CXorf67) gene (Gene ID: 340602) in human. EZHIP is expressed predominantly in the gonads. In testis, it is detected in male germ cells inside the seminiferous tubules, especially in spermatogonia and round spermatids. In the ovary, it is expressed in primordial follicles and oocytes but not the external follicle cells. It is shown to inhibit PRC2/EED-EZH1 and PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex function by inhibiting EZH1/EZH2 methyltransferase activity, thereby causing down-regulation of histone H3 trimethylation on lysine 27 (H3K27me3). It inhibits H3K27me3 deposition during spermatogenesis and oogenesis. Its inhibitory effect on methyltransferase activity is attributed to its ability to limit the stimulatory effect of cofactors such as AEBP2 and JARID2. Amino acid sequence 403-423 is reported to be essential and sufficient for inhibition of PRC2/EED-EZH1 and PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex activity and the sequence 401-409 is sufficient for its interaction with EZH2. 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, 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.
