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 1B9 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that detects AMIGO-2. It targets an epitope within 26 amino acids from the C-terminal extracellular domain.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 26 amino acids from the C-terminal extracellular domain of human AMIGO-2.

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in K562 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected AMIGO-2 in K562 cell lysate.

Tested Applications

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000-10,000 dilution from a representative lot detected AMIGO-2 in lysates from Y79, A549 cells and human kidney tissue.

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound AMIGO-2 peptide with at least one hundred thousand-fold (100,000X) higher than with non-specific control peptide.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected AMIGO-2 in K562 cells.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected AMIGO-2 in human stomach tissue sections.

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

Target description

Amphoterin-induced protein 2 (UniProt: Q86SJ2; also known as AMIGO-2, Alivin-1, Differentially expressed in gastric adenocarcinomas (DEGA)) is encoded by the AMIGO2 (also known as ALI1) gene (Gene ID: 347902) in human. AMIGO-2 is a member of the AMIGO family, which includes three, type I transmembrane proteins: AMIGO-1, AMIGO-2, and AMIGO-3. These proteins are known to play a role in nervous system development and have been implicated in various neuronal activities. AMIGO-2 protein contains 6 leucine-rich repeats (LRR), an Ig-like C2-type domain in the extracellular region, a transmembrane domain (aa 399-419), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 420-522). It is involved in cell adhesion, axon tract development, and synaptic formation within the nervous system. The AMIGO family of proteins exhibit both homophilic and heterophilic binding activity. AMIGO-2 is primarily expressed in the nervous system. Its expression is typically higher during the early stages of brain development. AMIGO-2 have been linked to several neurological, neurodevelopmental disorders and can influence neural regeneration processes. Changes in AMIGO-2 expression levels have been observed in certain cancers and it is differentially expressed in human gastric adenocarcinomas. (Ref.: Chen, Y et al., (2006), Brain Research Reviews, 51, 265 274).

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.
