Rabbit anti-Human 5T4 Oncofetal Trophoblast glycoprotein Polyclonal Antibody | anti-TPBG antibody
5T4 Oncofetal Trophoblast glycoprotein
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a leucine-rich transmembrane glycoprotein that may be involved in cell adhesion. The encoded protein is an oncofetal antigen that is specific to trophoblast cells. In adults this protein is highly expressed in many tumor cells and is associated with poor clinical outcome in numerous cancers. Alternate splicing in the 5' UTR results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Uniprot Description
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein
Potential.
Tissue specificity: Expressed by all types of trophoblasts as early as 9 weeks of development. Specific for trophoblastic cells except for amniotic epithelium. In adult tissues, the expression is limited to a few epithelial cell types but is found on a variety of carcinoma.
Miscellaneous: Antigen 5T4 is overexpressed by a wide spectrum of cancers, including colorectal, ovarian and gastric, but with a limited normal tissue expression. Could be used for tumor immunotherapy.
Sequence similarities: Contains 6 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.Contains 1 LRRCT domain.Contains 1 LRRNT domain.

Product Notes
The TPBG tpbg (Catalog #AAA396019) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The 5T4 Oncofetal Trophoblast glycoprotein reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's 5T4 Oncofetal Trophoblast glycoprotein can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB), ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the TPBG tpbg 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 "5T4 Oncofetal Trophoblast glycoprotein, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
