• Specificity: Clone IF22 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects amyloid precursor protein (APP). It targets an epitope within the extracellular domain in the N-terminal region.
• Immunogen: GST/His-tagged recombinant fragment corresponding to 150 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP).
• Application: Anti-APP, clone 1F22 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1516, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically targets Amyloid Precursor Protein and is tested for use in Affinity Binding Assay, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
• Target description: Amyloid-beta precursor protein (UniProt: P05067; also known as APP, ABPP, APPI, Alzheimer disease amyloid protein, Amyloid precursor protein, Amyloid-beta A4 protein, Cerebral vascular amyloid peptide, CVAP, PreA4, Protease nexin-II, PN-II) is encoded by the APP (also known as A4, AD1) gene (Gene ID: 351) in human. APP undergoes extensive post-translational modification including glycosylation, phosphorylation, and tyrosine sulfation, as well as many types of proteolytic processing to generate peptide fragments. APP is proteolytically processed under normal cellular conditions by alpha-secretase or beta-secretase to generate and release soluble APP peptides, S-APP-alpha and S-APP-beta, and the retention of corresponding membrane-anchored C-terminal fragments, C80, C83 and C99. Subsequent processing of C80 and C83 by gamma-secretase yields P3 peptides. In Alzheimer s disease processing of C99 generates amyloid-beta 40 (Abeta40) and amyloid-beta 42 (Abeta42) that form amyloid plaques. Beta-amyloid peptides are lipophilic metal chelators with metal-reducing activity. They bind transient metals such as copper, zinc and iron. APP can also be cleaved by caspases during neuronal apoptosis. Cleavage at Asp-739 by either caspase-6, -8 or -9 results in the production of the neurotoxic C31 peptide and the increased production of beta-amyloid peptides. In addition to its obvious role in Alzheimer′s disease, the most-substantiated role for APP is in synaptic formation and repair. Its expression is upregulated during neuronal differentiation and after neural injury. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
