Anti-MASPIN/SERPINB5 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated
Product Specifications
Background
SERPINB5 is also known as PI5 or maspin. Maspin (mammary serine protease inhibitor) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINB5 gene. Maspin is expressed in the skin, prostate, testis, intestine, tongue, lung, and the thymus. Maspin is a member of the serpin superfamily of serine protease inhibitors.[1] The primary function of most members of this family is to regulate the breakdown of proteins by inhibiting the catalytic activity of proteinases. Through this mechanism of action, serpins regulate a number of cellular processes includingphagocytosis, coagulation, and fibrinolysis.

Immunogen
E.coli-derived human MASPIN recombinant protein (Position: M1-A350) . Human MASPIN shares 88% and 89% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat MASPIN, respectively.
Clonality
Polyclonal

Form
Liquid
Function
Tumor suppressor. It blocks the growth, invasion, and metastatic properties of mammary tumors. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity.
