Alkaline Phosphatase/ALPP Antibody (ALPP/516) [Allophycocyanin/Cy7] Summary

• Immunogen: Recombinant full-length human Alkaline Phosphatase/ALPP protein (Uniprot: P05187)
• Localization: Cytoplasmic and cell surface
• Marker: Germ Cell Tumor Marker
• Specificity: PLAP is a tissue specific, trophoblast-derived, 70kDa, glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored, dimeric, Zn2+ metallo-glycoprotein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphomonoesters into an inorganic phosphate and an alcohol. It is present in the placenta and serum of pregnant women and in high frequency in gynecological and testicular cancers and in lower frequency in other tumors. The three tissue-specific APs in humans, PLAP, germ cell AP (GCAP) and intestinal AP, are 90-98% homologous. Non-tissue specific AP is found in kidney, liver and bone. This monoclonal antibody binds equally well to all common allelic variants (S, F, FS and I) of PLAP and to some variants of AP from normal human testis. This monoclonal antibody can be used as tracer antibody in ELISA to detect PLAP in serum of S, F, FS and I phenotypes.
• Isotype: IgG1 Kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal

Applications/Dilutions

• Application Notes: Optimal dilution of this antibody should be experimentally determined. For optimal results using our Tandem dyes, please avoid prolonged exposure to light or extreme temperature fluctuations. These can lead to irreversible degradation or decoupling. When staining intracellular targets, specific attention to the fixation and permeabilization steps in your flow protocol may be required. Please contact our technical support team at technical@novusbio.com if you have any questions.

Background

Alkaline phosphatases are phosphodiesterases. The placental-specific isozyme of Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP) is found in trophoblast cells of normal human mature placenta, seminomas of testis and ovarian carcinomas. Detection of alkaline phosphatase in serum is a marker for ovarian and testicular cancer.

FAQs for Alkaline Phosphatase/ALPP Antibody (NBP2-47991APCCY7). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. I am looking to use a placental alkaline phosphatase antibody for sorting syncytiotrophoblast material from female tissue. It looks like most people who use these antibodies use in-house versions and references for commercially available antibodies I've found are from the '80's. I noticed you have several different monoclonal antibodies and was hoping you could give me a little more information on them and potential applications they've been tested for. Also, do you have a biotinylated or fluorophore-conjugated version?
   • None of our placental alkaline phosphatase antibodies are biotinylated or fluorchrome conjugated but we offer a number of kits for this application and our lab can do a custom conjugation as well, for an additional fee. NB600-750 is useful in FACS with human cells, so I would recommend this antibody for your experiment. We back the use of this antibody as stated on the datasheet with the 100% Novus Guarantee. If you have questions about another antibody, I will be happy to answer them.
