ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Specificity

Clone BR2 is a ZooMAb^® Mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects aminopeptidase N/CD13. It targets an epitope within the extracellular domain.

Immunogen

Human foreskin fibroblasts

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Immunocytochemistry in PC3 cells.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected APN/CD13 in PC3 cells.

Tested Applications

Enzyme Immunoassay (ELISA) Analysis: A serial of dilutions from a representative lot detected C-Myc/DDK-tagged recombinant Human Aminopeptidase N/CD13.

Flow Cytometry Analysis: 0.1 µg from a representative lot detected APN/CD13 in one million Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.

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. Aminopeptidase N is involved in many physiological processes, including antigen presentation regulation, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, cancer metastasis, and angiogenesis. It is also involved in the processing of various peptides including peptide hormones, such as angiotensin III and IV, neuropeptides, and chemokines. Aminopeptidase N is associated with the growth of different human cancers and is considered to be a suitable target for anti‐cancerous therapy. Its levels are reported to be upregulated in response to hypoxia, angiogenic growth factors, and signals regulating capillary tube formation during 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 mouse 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.

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.
