Anti-PIN1 Antibody

Pin1 (peptidylprolyl cis/trans isomerase NIMA-interacting 1 protein) is an essential peptidylprolyl isomerase that regulates mitosis, presumably by interacting with NIMA and attenuating its mitosis-promoting activity. Pin1 displays a preference for an acidic residue N-terminal to the isomerized proline bond and also catalyzes pSer/Thr-Pro cis/trans isomerizations. Pin1 shows a nuclear localization.

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal sequence of human Pin1.

This affinity purified antibody is directed against human Pin1. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Pin1 from human, dog, bovine and monkey based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Expect partial reactivity with Pin1 from mouse and rat sources based on 92% sequence homologies. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Expiration date is one (1) year from date of opening.

This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, Immunohistochemistry, and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 18 kDa in size corresponding to Pin1 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Lysates from 3T3, Jurkat, 293 or HeLa cells, as well as HeLa nuclear extract, are recommended for use as positive controls.
