General description

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This antibody is Preservative-free, produced without the harm or sacrifice of animals and exceptionally stable to allow for ambient shipping and storage if needed and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency". Click here for more information.
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 MT3.1 is a ZooMAb® Mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects human Methylated-DNA-protein-cysteine methyltransferase (MGMT).

Immunogen

His-tagged, full-length recombinant human Methylated-DNA-protein-cysteine methyltransferase (MGMT).

Target description

Methylated-DNA-protein-cysteine methyltransferase (UniProt: P16455; also known as EC:2.1.1.63, 6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase, MGMT, O-6-methylguanine-DNA-alkyltransferase) is encoded by the MGMT gene (Gene ID: 4255) in human. MGMT is a ubiquitous DNA repair suicide enzyme that removes the cytotoxic DNA adducts O6-methylguanine and O6-chloroethylguanine induced by methylating and chloroethylating agents. It repairs the methylated nucleobase in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the methyl group to a cysteine residue in the enzyme. Hence, it serves as a major contributor to cellular protection from the mutagenic, carcinogenic, and cytotoxic effects of DNA alkylation. MGMT is reported to be frequently silenced due to abnormal methylation in cancer cells. However, it also makes tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy and certain alkylating drugs. In adults, epigenetic silencing of MGMT by promoter methylation has been shown to improve the outcome in subjects with glioblastoma multiforme receiving temozolomide, a methylating agent. Higher activity of MGMT in cancer cells is reported to be one of the major mechanisms of cancer drug resistance that which counteracts chemotherapy-induced DNA alkylation. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals. (Ref.: Fan, C-H., et al. (2013). Cell Death Dis. 4; e876).

Physical form

Purified recombinant mouse 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.
