Target description

Melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells 1 (UniProt: Q16655; also known as MART-1, Antigen LB39-AA, Antigen SK29-AA, Protein Melan-A) is encoded by the MLANA (also known as MART1) gene (Gene ID: 2315) in human. MART-1, a melanosome-specific protein, is a single-pass type III membrane protein with a transmembrane domain (aa 27-47) and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 48-118). Its expression is restricted to melanocytes, melanoma, and retina and is absent in other tissues and tumors. It is highly enriched in early melanosomes (Stage I and/or II melanosomes) indicating that its role in early melanogenesis. It is reported to stabilize both GPCR143/OA-1 and plays a role in the expression, stability, trafficking, and processing of pre-melanosome protein (PMEL) to ensure the formation of a stage 2 melanosome. It is mainly found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi but is also detected in small vesicles and tubules dispersed over the entire cytoplasm. A small fraction of the protein is inserted into the membrane in an inverted orientation, which allows melanoma cells to be effectively recognized by specific cytotoxic T-cells. MART-1 may be a useful marker in the diagnosis of melanocytic lesions and in the differential diagnosis of malignant melanoma. This ZooMAbZooMAb^® 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, 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.
