Anti-CNDP1 antibody produced in rabbit

CNDP1 (carnosine dipeptidase 1) is a secreted protein, which is found in human blood and central nervous system (CNS). It has a molecular weight of 57kDa and functions as a homodimer. It is an N-glycosylated glycoprotein. It is also found in liver and belongs to the M20 metallopeptidase family.

Beta-Ala-His dipeptidase precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Anti-CNDP1 antibody produced in rabbit is used for sandwich immunoassay.
Anti-CNDP1 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

CNDP1 (carnosine dipeptidase 1) functions as a carboxypeptidase and dipeptidase and is responsible for the degradation of carnosine and homocarnosine. It forms a complex with α-2 macroglobulin, which is a protease inhibitor. In type 2 diabetes, this gene is linked with susceptibility to nephropathy. Its reduced serum levels are linked with aggressiveness of prostate cancer. Reduced levels are also associated with lymph node metastasis. Its circulating levels are also decreased in glioblastoma, and in gastrointestinal cancer this is linked with poor outcome. Thus, it might be a putative maker for aggressive cancer and colorectal cancer.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
