Anti-Uplc1/Asap3 Antibody

This antibody is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Anti-UPLC1 (up-regulated in liver cancer 1) / ASAP3 Antibody, also named DDEFL1 (development and differentiation-enhancing factor-like 1) or ASAP3, is a member of the AZAP family of proteins. These proteins catalyze the hydrolysis of GTP bound to ADP-ribosylation factor (Arf) proteins, thereby causing Arf inactivation. For this reason, the ASAPs are generally called ArfGAPs. The activity of ArfGAPs is dependent on the presence of phosphoinositides and is implicated in cellular processes such as membrane trafficking and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. ASAP3 has been found to be up-regulated in 80% of the hepatocellular carcinomas examined. Initial biochemical characterization reveals that ASAP3 shows class-specific GAP activity on Arf proteins, preferring Arf5 over Arf1 and Arf6. ASAP3 antibody has beed developed through the NCI antibody collaboration program and is ideal for Cancer and Signal Transduction research.

This protein A purified antibody is directed against human UPLC1/ASAP3 protein. The product was purified from monospecific antiserum by protein A chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with UPLC1/ASAP3 protein from mouse and rat based on approximately 80% homology with the human protein. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.

Store UPLC1 / ASAP3 Antibody 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 protein A purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 100 kDa in size corresponding to UPLC1/ASAP3 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
