• Target description: Endomucin (UniProt: Q9ULC0; also known as Endomucin-2, Gastric cancer antigen Ga34, Mucin-14, MUC-14) is encoded by the EMCN (also known as EMCN2, MUC14) gene (Gene ID: 51705) in human.  Mucins are large, heavily glycosylated, extracellular proteins that establish a selective molecular barrier at the epithelial surface and engage in morphogenetic signal transduction. They are the major macromolecular components of mucus. They have a unique and characteristic sequence of tandemly repeating amino acids rich in serine and/or threonine. They are expressed by various epithelial cell types that exist in relatively harsh environments, such as air–water interface of the respiratory system and the acidic environment of the stomach. Mucin-14 is a single-pass type I membrane sialoglycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-18), which is subsequently cleaved off to produce the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 19-190) that is highly O-glycosylated at serine and threonine residues; a transmembrane domain (aa 191-211); and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 212-261). Three isoforms of Mucin-14 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. Isoform 1 is membrane associated protein that consistently localizes to the plasma membrane and less abundantly to Golgi-like perinuclear stacks. Isoform 2 lacks amino acids 140-222, and isoform 3 is a secretory form. Its expression is observed in heart, kidney, and lungs. It is also expressed in retinal endothelial cells, and its expression is reduced under conditions of high blood glucose in vitro and in vivo. Its overexpression can restore the glycocalyx of retinal endothelial cells in diabetic rats. In the eye, it inhibits retinal inflammation and promotes retinal microvascular angiogenesis during retinal development. It has been identified as a novel VEGF‐induced angiogenic regulator that can reduce VEGF‐induced migration, proliferation, and tube formation of human retinal microvascular endothelial cells. It is also reported to interfere with the assembly of focal adhesion complexes and inhibit the interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix. 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.
• Other Notes: Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
