Protein Array: MTAP Antibody (MTAP/1813) - Azide and BSA Free [NBP2-75731] - Z- and S- Score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that a monoclonal antibody (MAb) (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary antibody) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProtTM array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If targets on HuProtTM are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-score. S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of a MAb to its intended target. A MAb is considered to specific to its intended target, if the MAb has an S-score of at least 2.5. For example, if a MAb binds to protein X with a Z-score of 43 and to protein Y with a Z-score of 14, then the S-score for the binding of that MAb to protein X is equal to 29.

MTAP Antibody (MTAP/1813) - Azide and BSA Free Summary

• Description: 1.0 mg/ml of antibody purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G. Prepared in 10mM PBS WITHOUT BSA & azide. Also available at 200 ug/ml WITH BSA & azide (NBP2-75730).
  
  Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8C. Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80C.
• Immunogen: Recombinant human MTAP protein fragment (aa97-196) (exact sequence is proprietary) (Uniprot: Q13126)
• Localization: Cytoplasmic
• Marker: Tumor Suppressor Marker
• Specificity: Recognizes a protein of 31kDa, which is identified as MTAP (5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase). It catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of methylthioadenosine, which is important in polyamine metabolism and for the salvage of adenine and methionine. The gene encoding MTAP is linked to the tumor suppressor gene, p16INK4A. Deficient levels of MTAP can occur in cancers primarily through co-deletion of the MTAP gene and the p16INK4A gene. Cells expressing MTAP and possessing adenine salvage pathway activity may be less susceptible to malignancy due to growth-inhibitory actions of agents (e.g. antifolates), whose mechanism of action, in part, involves this de novo purine pathway.
• Isotype: IgG2b Kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: MTAP
• Purity: Protein A or G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • ELISA 2 - 4 ug/mL
  • Immunohistochemistry 1 - 2 ug/mL
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 1-2 ug/ml
  • Protein Array
  • Western Blot 0.5-2 ug/ml
• Application Notes: ELISA: Use Ab at 2-4ug/ml for coating. Order Ab without BSA.
  Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed): 1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
  Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
• Theoretical MW: 31 kDa.
  Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Background

MTAP encodes an enzyme that plays a major role in polyamine metabolism and is important for the salvage of both adenine and methionine. The encoded enzyme is deficient in many cancers because this gene and the tumor suppressor p16 gene are co-deleted. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene, but their full-length natures remain unknown.
