---|---|
Primary Accession | O96009 |
Reactivity | Human, Rat |
Host | Mouse |
Clonality | Monoclonal |
Clone Names | 10C4B8 |
Isotype | IgG1 |
Calculated MW | 45.4kDa |
Description | The activation peptides of aspartic proteinases plays role as inhibitors of the active site. These peptide segments, or pro-parts, are deemed important for correct folding, targeting, and control of the activation of aspartic proteinase zymogens. The pronapsin A gene is expressed predominantly in lung and kidney. Its translation product is predicted to be a fully functional, glycosylated aspartic proteinase precursor containing an RGD motif and an additional 18 residues at its C-terminus. |
Immunogen | Purified recombinant fragment of human NAPSA (AA: 20-158) expressed in E. Coli. |
Formulation | Purified antibody in PBS with 0.05% sodium azide |
Gene ID | 9476 |

Other Names | Napsin-A, 3.4.23.-, Aspartyl protease 4, ASP4, Asp 4, Napsin-1, TA01/TA02, NAPSA, NAP1, NAPA |
Dilution | E~~1/10000 WB~~1/500 - 1/2000 IHC~~1/200 - 1/1000 |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | NAPSA Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | NAPSA |
