Target description

RNA-binding protein Musashi homolog 1 (UniProt: O43347; also known as Musashi-1) is encoded by the MSI1 gene (Gene ID: 4440) in human. Musashi-1 is a highly conserved RNA binding protein that regulates the expression of target mRNAs at the translation level. It contains two RNA recognition motifs (RRM1: aa 20-110 and RRM2: aa 109-186) and the first RRM binds more strongly to RNA compared to the second one. It binds RNA containing the sequence 5′-GUUAGUUAGUUAGUU-3′ and other sequences containing the pattern 5′-[GA]U1-3AGU-3′. Musashi-1 was first described in Drosophila where it was shown to block translation of Numb, a negative regulator of Notch 4 and Trk69. In mammalian system it is reported to maintain the proliferation of multipotential neural stem/progenitor cells, and it is rapidly downregulated in post-mitotic neurons. Its upregulation is reported in tumors originating from neural stem cells. It is over-expressed in glioblastoma (GBM) and serves as an unfavorable prognostic marker of GBM. It promotes cancer stem cell properties in GBM via upregulation of YTH N6-Methyladenosine RNA Binding Protein 1 (YTHDF1). Musashi-1-transduced mammary epithelial cells express CD24hi/Sca-1+ and CD24hi/CD29+ phenotypes that has been linked expansion of multipotent progenitor cells. Musashi-1-transduced cells are also shown to express a higher percentage of cytokeratin (CK) 6 and 19 and double-positive CK14/CK18 cells that are a mixture of stem and progenitor cells. Musashi-1 is detected in fetal kidney, brain, liver, and lung, and in adult brain and pancreas. 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.
