• Target description: Aminopeptidase N (UniProt: P15144; also known as EC:3.4.11.2, AP-N, hAPN, Alanyl aminopeptidase, Aminopeptidase M, Microsomal aminopeptidase, Myeloid plasma membrane glycoprotein CD13, gp150, CD13) is encoded by the ANPEP (also known as APN, CD13, PEPN) gene (Gene ID: 290) in human. Aminopeptidase N is a Zn2+-dependent, single-pass type II membrane protein that is also found as a soluble form in cells. It consists of a short N-terminal cytoplasmic end (aa 2-8), a transmembrane domain (aa 9-32), and a large extracellular portion (aa 33-967), which is composed of a Ser/Thr-rich region (aa 33-68) and the metalloprotease domain (aa 69-967). It is widely expressed as a homodimer of 280 kDa on the cell surface in many tissues, including intestinal epithelia and the nervous system. It serves as a broad specificity aminopeptidase that plays a role in the final digestion of peptides generated from hydrolysis of proteins by gastric and pancreatic proteases. It preferentially cleaves N-terminus neutral amino acids, most notably alanine residue. It regulates activities of numerous cytokines by cleaving their N-terminals and is also involved in antigen processing by trimming the peptides bound to MHC II. It is involved in several physiological processes, including antigen presentation regulation, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, cancer metastasis, and angiogenesis. 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: 30 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.
