• Target description: Endoplasmin (UniProt: P14625; also known as 94 kDa glucose-regulated protein, GRP-94, Heat shock protein 90 kDa beta member 1, Tumor rejection antigen 1, gp96 homolog) is encoded by the GRP94 (also known as HSP90B1, TRA1) gene (Gene ID: 7184) in human. GRP94 is a disulfide-linked homodimeric calcium-binding protein that is confined to the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It serves as a chaperone for secreted and membrane proteins. It is targeted to the ER by its 21 amino acid N-terminal signal sequence that is subsequently cleaved off upon entry to the lumen, exposing the DDEV terminus of the mature protein. It maintains its presence in the ER by using its C-terminal sequence KDEL that serves as an ER retrieval signal for the KDEL receptor. GRP94 shares many biochemical features with HSP90, in particular its domain structure and ATPase activity. However, its mode of action varies from HSP90 in the conformational changes induced by nucleotide binding, and in its interactions with co-chaperones, which are very different from known cytosolic co-chaperones. It is reported to be more selective than many of the ER chaperones. GRP94 may also participate in the unfolding of cytosolic proteins lacking the secretion signal sequence. Murine models lacking GRP94 are reported to undergo development arrest at gestational day 7, before gastrulation and formation of mesodermal tissues. 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.
