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.

Target description
Target of Myb protein 1 (UniProt: O60784; also known as TOM1) is encoded by the TOM1 gene (Gene ID: 10043) in human. The TOM1 family of proteins is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. Higher expression of TOM1 has been reported in skeletal muscle, heart, placenta, liver, and immune cells. It has a VHS domain (aa 20-152) at the N-terminus, a GAT domain (aa 215-303) in the central region, and a long C-terminal domain. It serves as an ESCRT protein that is involved in the initial steps of endosomal cargo sorting. TOM1 interaction with Zinc Finger FYVE-Type Containing 16 (ZFYVE16) is required to target it to endosomes. To exert its function, it associates with ubiquitin moieties on the cargo via its VHS and GAT domains. As an ESCRT-0 component, it also interacts with TOLLIP, endofin, ubiquitin, and clathrin. TOM1 also serves as an adaptor protein that is essential for the maturation of autophagosomes and their fusion with lysosomes. It inhibits Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and participates in immune receptor recycling. Four isoforms of TOM1 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. 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, 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.
