Anti-SCUBE1 Antibody

SCUBE1 is an EGF-related protein with a CUB (C1s-like) domain that is expressed primarily in the developing gonad, nervous system, somites, surface ectoderm and limb buds. The N-terminal EGF-like repeats of SCUBE1 participate in the formation of adhesions in a Ca2+-dependent fashion. In contrast, the C-terminal cysteine-rich motifs and CUB domain can directly bind and antagonize bone morphogenic protein activity; genetic ablation of this region resulted in brain malformation in mice embryos, suggesting SCUBE1 plays a role in brain morphogenesis. SCUBE1 has also been implicated in early craniofacial development in mice.

SCUBE1 antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide near the center of human SCUBE1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 460 - 510 of SCUBE1.

Detected in endothelial cells. Highly expressed in platelets. Stored in platelet alpha granules, and transferred to the cell surface upon activation and aggregation. A smaller form, probably produced by limited proteolysis, after being released from the storage granules, is associated with thrombus and localized with the subendothelial matrices in atherosclerotic plaques.

SCUBE1 antibody can be stored at 4°C for three months and -20°C, stable for up to one year. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
