PIP Antibody (PIP/1571) [FITC] Summary

• Description: This conjugate is made on demand and is not held in inventory. Each order represents a unique lot. All conjugates are generated using validated conjugation protocols and meet strict degree of labeling (F/P) specifications; additional information is available upon request. The antibody concentration is provided on the individual product label.
  
  For specialized conjugation needs, like large quantities, specific concentrations, and defined F/P ratios, bulk and custom antibody conjugation services are available.
• Immunogen: Recombinant human PIP protein fragment (around aa 41-146) (exact sequence is proprietary) (Uniprot: P12273)
• Localization: Cytoplasmic (Golgi bodies) and Secreted
• Marker: Breast Marker
• Specificity: It recognizes a protein of 15kDa, identified as Gross cystic disease fluid protein 15 (GCDFP-15). It is a major protein component of benign breast gross cysts. It is a known marker of breast cancer, as it is found in approximately 50% of all breast cancer specimens. GCDFP-15, also known as PIP, for prolactin inducible protein, is a prolactin and androgen controlled protein. This antibody is useful in the identification of metastatic breast carcinoma, or fluid analysis.

Background

The androgen and prolactin responsive prolactin-inducible protein (PIP), also known as Gross cystic disease fluid protein (GCDFP-15) is expressed in benign and malignant human breast tumors and in such normal exocrine organs as sweat, salivary and lacrimal glands. The hormonally responsive PIP gene is expressed in benign and malignant breast tumor tissues and in such normal exocrine organs as sweat, salivary, and lacrimal glands. The cells within the body that produce PIP/GCDFP 15 appear to be restricted primarily to those with apocrine function. Studies have found PIP to be a highly specific and sensitive marker for breast cancer.
