In rodents, MAP1LC3 (Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3) is expressed in the renal visceral epithelial cells, or podocytes. LC3 antibody analysis has shown the protein accumulates in its membrane-bound form, LC3II, following conversion from LC3I.

MMP2 antibodies have proven to be important tools for cancer research and extracellular matrix studies. Novus Biologicals offers an excellent MMP2 antibody (Catalog Number NB200-114) for Western blot, immunoprecipitation, ELISA, and immunohistochemical/immunofluorescence staining in human, mouse and rat samples. Originally developed in 2005, this MMP-2 clone (8B4) has been thoroughly characterized and cited in a growing number of published journal articles.

Caspase 3 is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease family and an important mediator of apoptosis. Caspase 3 antibody reagents have been used in cancer, Alzheimer's disease and stem cell research. A recent caspase 3 antibody ELISA study showed elevated levels of the p17 caspase 3 fragment were associated with myocardial infarction in humans.

The ATP Binding Cassette Transporter (ABCA1) gene encodes the cholesterol regulatory efflux protein, which plays a key role in lipid metabolism. ABCA1 antibody products are an important part of any antibody catalog covering atherosclerosis disease research.

Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFa) is a cytokine protein that plays an essential role in inducing the systemic inflammatory response, being expressed in tissues throughout the body. In autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis, TNF alpha causes negative clinical effects. These can be controlled by inhibitory TNF antibody drugs, a number of which are now on the market. We at Novus Biologicals have an extensive range of TNF alpha antibodies.

Our antibody catalog includes an extensive range of Rad51 antibody reagents. Encoded by the RAD51 gene, the Rad51 protein plays a vital role in DNA repair, interacting with several other proteins, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, to effect homologous recombination at double-strand breaks.

The Hypoxia-inducible Factor 1 (HIF1) protein is a heterodimeric transcription factor which plays an important role in mammalian oxygen homeostasis in conditions of hypoxia, or low oxygen concentration. HIF-1 alpha antibody reagents are widely used in disease research, as hypoxia is known to contribute to many diseases including cancer, pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease. We at Novus Biologicals are one of the leading antibody suppliers of HIF-1 products.

We at Novus Biologicals have a large HIF-1 (Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1) antibody catalog, with twenty HIF-1 beta antibody products specifically targeted to the beta subunit of HIF-1, a heterodimer which is known to contribute to many human diseases arising from changes in oxygen homeostasis.

Nestin is a large class Vl intermediate filament protein predominantly expressed in the neuroepithelial stem cells of the embryonic central nervous system, although recent nestin antibody studies have shown it expressed in other cell types, including vascular endothelial cells. The first monoclonal nestin antibody was developed by Hockfield and McKay in 1985.

The notch proteins are single-pass membrane receptors controlling a highly conserved signalling pathway. In vertebrates, the notch family comprises four transmembrane receptors encoded by four individual genes (NOTCH1 - 4). We at Novus Biologicals are leading NOTCH antibody suppliers, with an extensive range of NOTCH antibody products.
