TEM8/ANTXR1 Antibody (200C1339(SB20)) [Alexa Fluor™ Plus 555] Summary

• Immunogen: This monoclonal antibody was developed by immunizing mice with a synthetic peptide containing amino acids 481-497 (CINFTRVKNNQPAKYPL) of human TEM8.
• Specificity: Nanda et al (2004) note a passage dependent loss of TEM8 in HUVEC suggesting that that TEM8 may be a specific marker of the endothelial cell (EC) phenotype which is lost as primary EC's age in culture and de-differentiate.
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: ANTXR1
• Purity: Protein G purified

Applications/Dilutions

Background

The Anthrax toxin receptor (ATR) was initially discovered as the tumor endothelial marker 8 (TEM8). This protein, which exists in three isoforms (36, 40, and 60 kDa), is highly expressed in tumor vessels as well as in the vasculature of developing embryos, suggesting that it may normally play a role in angiogenesis. However, it also acts as the receptor for anthrax toxin. Following the binding of this protein by the protective antigen (PA) of anthrax, PA is cleaved and heptamerizes to form the binding site for both edema factor (EF) and lethal factor (LF). This complex is then endocytosed by the cell; acidification in endosomes allows the release of EF and LF into the cytoplasm where they interfere with MAPK signaling and induce apoptosis.
