• Specificity: Clone 2C16 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects human Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF).
• Immunogen: GST/His-tagged recombinant fragment corresponding to 152 amino acids from the C-terminal half of human Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF).
• Application: Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound human recombinant PEDF with a KD of 8.1 x 10-9 in an affinity binding assay.Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected PEDF (SERPIN F1) in human kidney tissue sections.Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user
• Target description: Pigment epithelium-derived factor (UniProt: P36955; also known as PEDF, Cell proliferation-inducing gene 35 protein, EPC-1, Serpin F1) is encoded by the SERPINF1 (also known as PEDF) gene (Gene ID: 5176) in human. Serpin F1 is a monomeric secreted protein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-19) that is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form. Serpin F1 is synthesized by multiple cells, including retinal pigment epithelium, fibroblasts, mammary epithelium, adipocytes, hepatocytes and osteoblasts. It is enriched in retinal pigment epithelial cells and blood plasma. It displays neurotrophic activity and induces extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells. Its N-terminal (aa 44-121) displays neurite outgrowth-inducing activity while the C-terminal exposed loop (aa 382-418) is reported to be essential for its serpin activity. Serpin F1 also serves as a potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. Serpin F1 contains three beta sheets, 8 10 alpha helices, and a C terminal reactive center loop. In the cell, serpin F1 undergoes phosphorylation at Ser227 by protein kinase A that increases its anti-angiogenic activity and extracellular serpin F1 can be phosphorylated on serine 24 and serine 114 by casein kinase 2 that promotes its neurotrophic activity. Mutations in SERPINF1 gene are shown to cause Osteogenesis imperfecta 6 that is characterized by low bone mass, bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures after minimal trauma. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
