NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. Members of this family are membrane-anchored proteins structurally related to snake venom disintegrins and have been implicated in a variety of biological processes involving cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions, including fertilization, muscle development, and neurogenesis. It is reported that inactivation of this gene is associated with tumorigenesis in human cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

Product Notes
The ADAM23 adam23 (Catalog #
AAA422016) is an Antibody produced from Goat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Goat anti-ADAM23 Antibody reacts with Expected from sequence similarity: Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's ADAM23 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Peptide ELISA (EIA). Peptide ELISA: Antibody detection limit dilution 1: 32000. Western Blot: Preliminary experiments gave an approx 70kDa band in Human Brain (Cerebellum and Frontal Cortex) lysates after 0.7ug/ml antibody staining. Please note that currently we cannot find an explanation in the literature for the band we observe. The precursor of this glycoprotein has a calculated size of 91.9kDa according to NP_003803.1. The 70kDa band was successfully blocked by incubation with the immunizing peptide. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the ADAM23 adam23 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. The amino acid sequence is listed below: NGKPQYSKGG EHC.
It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"ADAM23, 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.
