ZooMAb^® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb^® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb^® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Clone 1D9 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects -Actinin 4. It targets an epitope within 17 amino acids from the N-terminal region.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 17 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human -Actinin 4.

Alpha-actinin-4 (UniProt: O43707; also known as Non-muscle alpha-actinin 4) is encoded by the ACTN4 gene (Gene ID: 81) in human. -Actinin 4 is a widely expressed, homodimeric, F-actin cross-linking protein that anchors actin to a variety of intracellular structures. It is a rod-shaped protein that forms head-to-tail homodimers. It contains an N-terminal actin binding domain (aa 1-269), four spectrin repeats, and two C-terminal EF hands (aa 765-800 and 806-841). It also contains a LXXLL motif (aa 84-88) that meditates its interaction with nuclear receptors. -Actinin 4 is involved in tight junction assembly in epithelial cells probably through interaction with Molecule interacting with CasL-like 2 (MICALL2). It links MICALL2 to the actin cytoskeleton and recruits it to the tight junctions. It may also function as a transcriptional coactivator, stimulating transcription mediated by the nuclear hormone receptors PPAR and retinoic acid receptor (RARA). Mutations in ACTN4 gene are lin

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.

300 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
