Related Product Information for anti-FAPa antibody
The protein encoded by this gene is a homodimeric integral membrane gelatinase belonging to the serine protease family. It is selectively expressed in reactive stromal fibroblasts of epithelial cancers, granulation tissue of healing wounds, and malignant cells of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. This protein is thought to be involved in the control of fibroblast growth or epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, tissue repair, and epithelial carcinogenesis.

Uniprot Description
FAP: In association with DPP4 is involved in the pericellular proteolysis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the migration and invasion of endothelial cells into the ECM. May have a role in tissue remodeling during development and wound healing, and may contribute to invasiveness in malignant cancers. Belongs to the peptidase S9B family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The FAPa fap (Catalog #
AAA6161522) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha (FAPa, FAP, 170kD Melanoma Membrane-bound Gelatinase, DKFZP686G13158, DPPIV, EC 3.4.21.-, Integral Membrane Serine Protease, Seprase) (FITC) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Applications are based on unconjugated antibody. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the FAPa fap 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
"Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha, 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.
