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 1M11 ZooMAb is a rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Huntingtin protein. It targets an epitope with in the N-terminal region.

Immunogen

His-tagged recombinant fragment corresponding to 135 amino acids from the N-terminal half of human Huntingtin protein.

Application

Anti-Huntingtin Protein, clone 1M11 ZooMAb , Cat. No. ZRB1102, is a highly specific rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that targets Huntingtin Protein and has been tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Huntingtin Protein in mouse brain tissue lysate.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Huntingtin Protein in human cerebral cortex tissue sections.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:50 dilution from a representative lot detected Huntingtin Protein in E18 cortical cells.

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

Target description

Huntingtin (UniProt: P42858; also known as Huntington disease protein, HD protein) is encoded by the HTT (also known as HD, IT15) gene (Gene ID: 3064) in human. The protein is found in the perinuclear region along with microtubules, and in the centrosomal region along with gamma-tubulin. It is expressed in the brain and is mainly found in the cerebellar cortex, the neocortex, the striatum, and the hippocampal formation. Huntingtin is necessary for neuronal survival and is involved in synaptic vesicle trafficking, microtubule binding and may also have a role in apoptosis. It plays a role in microtubule-mediated transport and vesicle function. Huntingtin protein contains a nuclear export signal (aa 2395-2404) and 5 HEAT (Huntington, Elongation Factor 3, PR65/A, TOR) domains. Huntingtin protein is cleaved by apopain downstream of the polyglutamine stretch and the resulting N-terminal fragment is cytotoxic and provokes apoptosis. Phosphorylation at Serine 1179 and 1199 by CDK5 in response to DNA damage in nuclei of neurons protects neurons against polyglutamine expansion as well as DNA damage mediated toxicity. Mutations in HTT gene cause Huntington disease that is characterized by involuntary movements (chorea), general motor impairment, psychiatric disorders and dementia. Wild-type huntingtin and anti-huntingtin antibody reduces aggregation and cellular toxicity of the mutant huntingtin form in mammalian cell models of Huntington disease. 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 is a coarse or translucent resin. 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. 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.
