Anti-Na+/K+ ATPase α1 Antibody, clone 2M18 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha-1 (UniProt: P05023; also known as EC:7.2.2.13, Na (+)/K (+) ATPase alpha-1 subunit, Sodium pump subunit alpha-1) is encoded by the ATP1A1 gene (Gene ID: 476) in human. Na (+)/K (+) ATPase a1 is a multi-pass membrane protein with five extracellular domains, ten transmembrane domains, and six cytoplasmic domains. It is synthesized with a short propeptide (aa 1-5), which is removed in the mature form. It serves as the catalytic component of the active enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane. This action creates the electrochemical gradient of sodium and potassium ions that provides energy for active transport of various nutrients. This gradient is also essential for osmoregulation, for sodium-coupled transport of a variety of organic and inorganic molecules, and for electrical excitability of nerve and muscle. Phosphorylation of Na (+)/K (+) ATPase a1 on tyrosine 10 modulates its pumping activity and phosphorylation on serine 943 by protein kinase A modulates its response protein kinase C. Following increase in intracellular sodium, it undergoes dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) that leads to increase in its catalytic activity. Mutations in ATP1A1 gene have been linked to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a disorder of the peripheral nervous system, characterized by progressive weakness and atrophy. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Clone 2M18 is a ZooMAb^® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Na+-/K+ ATPase a1. It targets an epitope within 16 amino acids from the N-terminal, first cytoplasmic domain.

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.
