Related Product Information for anti-NP-1 antibody
Defensins are a large family of broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides. There were oringinally identified in leukocytes of rabbits and humans. Defensins are cationic/polar peptides (30-35aa; 3-4kD). They are distinguished by a conserved tri-disulfides and a largely b-sheet structure. Defensins expressed at the cell surface have been hypothesized to function as a biochemical barrier against microbial infection by inhibiting colonization of the epithelium by wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. In leukocytes, these peptides are stored in cytoplasmic granules. These granules are released into phagolysosomes where they contribute to the killing of engulfed microorganisms. The genes encoding human alpha- and beta-defensins are clustered in a contiguous segment of chromosome 8p23. Defensins are classified into two families designated alpha and beta based on distinctive, although similar, tri-disulfide linkages in the peptides. b-defensins are slightly larger and differ in the position and arrangement of 3 disulfides. In humans, six a-defensin (cryptidins), HD 1-6 and two b-defensins, HBD-1 and HBD-2, have been identified. HD1-4 are also known as HNP1-4 for Human Neutrophil Peptides. Alpha-defensins are encoded by genes designated DEFA1-6. Human b-defensins are encoded by the DEFB1 and DEFb2 genes. HD1-4 are expressed in neutrophils,. HD5 and HD6 are expressed in epithelial cells of the intestinal and reproductive tract. HD1-3/HNP1-3 make up about 30% of the neutrophil's total granule protein. The HNPs are 29-30aa in length. They are identical in sequence except at the N-terminal amino acid. DEFA1 and DEFA3 differ from each other only by their terminal ala and asp, respectively. DEFA2 is identical to both except that it has 29 instead of 30 amino acids.

Product Notes
The NP-1 (Catalog #AAA615452) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The NP-1 (alpha Defensin-1) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's NP-1 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EL/EIA), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the NP-1 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 "NP-1, 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
