Anti-LEAP2 Antibody, clone 1D17 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Liver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (UniProt: Q969E1; also known as LEAP-2) is encoded by the LEAP2 gene (Gene ID: 116842) in human. Cationic antimicrobial peptides are widely distributed in nature and have a key role in innate immunity and host defense and induce the direct destruction of microorganisms. LEAP2 is a 40-residue cationic antimicrobial peptide that is highly conserved in mammals. LEAP-2 is mainly expressed in the liver but is also produced in smaller quantities in other tissues. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-22) and a propeptide (aa 23-37) that are subsequently cleaved off to generate the active mature peptide (aa 38-77). Its primary structure and disulfide bond pattern does not exhibit any similarity to any known peptide. It has a compact central core with disorder at the N- and C-termini. The core comprises a β-hairpin and a 3(10)- helix that are braced by disulfide bonds between Cys17-28 and Cys23-33 (in mature peptide) and is further stabilized by a network of hydrogen bonds. Its expression appears to be well regulated at the transcriptional level. LEAP2 gene consists of three exons and two introns. LEAP2 exhibits dose-dependent antimicrobial activity with an IC50 of about 5 μM against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Bacillus subtilis. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Clone 1D17 is a ZooMAb^® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects LEAP2. It targets an epitope within 14 amino acids from the internal region.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 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.

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.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
