Related Product Information for anti-pxo1_110 antibody
Mouse anti Anthrax Protective Antigen antibody, clone C3 recognizes the Protective Antigen of the anthrax toxin. Bacillus anthracis produces a toxin composed of three proteins, the Protective Antigen (PA), the Edema Factor (EF) and the Lethal Factor (LF). The three proteins depend on each other for their toxic effect. Both EF and LF functions intracellularly but are too large to enter the cell through existing channels. The PA is responsible for transporting the EF and LF into cells. The 83kDa PA (PA83) binds to the cell surface where a 20 kDa N-terminal fragment (PA20) is cleaved off, exposing binding sites for LF and EF. The remaining 63 kDa portion (PA63) oligomerizes to form a heptamer pre-pore, which then associates with up to three molecules of EF and/or LF. The receptor complex is internalized within endocytotic vessels that are subsequently acidified, transforming the PA heptamer into a pore that releases the active enzymes EF (an adenylate cyclase) and LF (a protease targeting MAPKKs) into the cytosol. Mouse anti Anthrax Protective Antigen antibody, clone C3 does not cross-react with the Lethal Factor of Bacillus anthracis, Yersinia pestis, Francisella tularensis or Toxoplasma gondii. The antibody recognizes both the 83kDa and 63kDa truncated form of PA.
Uniprot Description
One of the three proteins composing the anthrax toxin, the agent which infects many mammalian species and that may cause death. PA binds to a receptor (ATR) in sensitive eukaryotic cells, thereby facilitating the translocation of the enzymatic toxin components, edema factor and lethal factor, across the target cell membrane. PA associated with LF causes death when injected, PA associated with EF produces edema. PA induces immunity to infection with anthrax.
Product Notes
The pxo1_110 paga (Catalog #
AAA214545) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's ANTHRAX can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the pxo1_110 paga 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
"ANTHRAX, Monoclonal 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.
