Rabbit anti-Mouse Fibroblast Activation Protein Alpha Polyclonal Antibody | anti-FAPa antibody
Polyclonal Antibody to Fibroblast Activation Protein Alpha (FAPa)
Immunohistochemistry: 5-20 ug/mL;1:45-180
Immunocytochemistry: 5-20 ug/mL;1:45-180
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user
Store at 4ºC for frequent use.
Aliquot and store at -20ºC for 12 months.
Stability Test: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene belongs to the serine protease family. The encoded protein is an inducible cell-surface bound glycoprotein specifically expressed in tumor-associated fibroblasts and pericytes of epithelial tumors and has protease and gelatinase activity. The protein plays a role in remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and may affect tumorigenesis and tissue repair. Alternately spliced transcript variants of this gene are described in the literature (PMID 9139873), but the full-length sequence of these variants is not available. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
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 #AAA2026729) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Polyclonal Antibody to Fibroblast Activation Protein Alpha (FAPa) reacts with Mouse 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, WB; IHC; ICC; IP. Western blotting: 0.5-2 ug/mL;1:450-1800 Immunohistochemistry: 5-20 ug/mL;1:45-180 Immunocytochemistry: 5-20 ug/mL;1:45-180 Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user. 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, 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
