Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A (PAPPA) Active Protein | PAPPA active protein
Active Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A (PAPPA)
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37 degree C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
Activity Data
(Figure. The binding activity of PAPPA with Plg.Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA), also known as pappalysin-1, is a secreted protease whose main substrate is insulin-like growth factor binding proteins. PAPPA's proteolytic function is activated upon collagen binding. It is thought to be involved in local proliferative processes such as wound healing and bone remodeling. Low plasma level of this protein has been suggested as a biochemical marker for pregnancies with aneuploid fetuses (fetuses with an abnormal number of chromosomes). Besides, Plasminogen (Plg) has been identified as an interactor of PAPPA, thus a binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human PAPPA and recombinant human Plg. Briefly, PAPPA were diluted serially in PBS with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100muL were then transferred to Plg-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 2h at 37 degree C. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-PAPPA pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody, wells were aspirated and washed 3 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37 degree C. Finally, add 50uL stop solution to the wells and read at 450nm immediately. The binding activity of PAPPA and Plg was shown in Figure 1, and this effect was in a dose dependent manner.)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Accurate MW: 34kDa
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a secreted metalloproteinase which cleaves insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). Following IGFBP cleavage, insulin growth factors dissociate from IGFBPs and bind to IGF receptors, resulting in activation of the IGF pathway. The encoded protein plays a role in bone formation, inflammation, wound healing and female fertility. Enhanced expression of this protein is associated with diabetic nephropathy in human patients and this protein may promote tumor invasion and growth in various human cancers.

Uniprot Description
PAPPA: Metalloproteinase which specifically cleaves IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5, resulting in release of bound IGF. Cleavage of IGFBP-4 is dramatically enhanced by the presence of IGF, whereas cleavage of IGFBP-5 is slightly inhibited by the presence of IGF. Belongs to the peptidase M43B family.

Product Notes
The PAPPA pappa (Catalog #AAA2105117) is an Active Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The immunogen sequence is Thr1270~Cys1558. AAA Biotech's Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A (PAPPA) can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Cell Culture, Activity Assays. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PAPPA pappa for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Pregnancy Associated Plasma Protein A (PAPPA), Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
