Clone 1H7 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Gasdermin-E (GSDME). It targets an epitope within 20 amino acids from the N-terminal region.

Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.

Gasdermin-E (UniProt: O60443; also known as Inversely correlated with estrogen receptor expression 1, ICERE-1, Non-syndromic hearing impairment protein 5, GSDME) is encoded by the GSDME (also known as DFNA5, ICERE1) gene (Gene ID: 1687) in human. Gasdermin-E (GSDME) is a precursor of a pore-forming protein that converts non-inflammatory apoptosis to pyroptosis. The full-length protein is inactive and upon cleavage by caspase 3 or granzyme B at aspartic acid 270, the N-terminal moiety is released (aa 1-270) that binds to membrane, homooligomerizes, and forms pores of 10 to 15 nm inner diameter, triggering pyroptosis. The N-terminal GSDME is a multi-pass membrane protein whose interaction with the C-terminal domain is important for autoinhibition in the absence of an activation signal.  GSDME expression is observed in cochlea and placenta. Lower levels of expression are reported in heart, brain, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, and skeletal muscle. GSDME is also known to mediate secondary necrosis downstream of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway and caspase-3 activation as well as in response to viral agents. It can suppress tumors by mediating granzyme-mediated pyroptosis in target cells of natural killer (NK) cells. It may also play a role in the p53/TP53-regulated cellular response to DNA damage. Three isoforms of GSDME have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, Affinity^™, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 20 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human Gasdermin E (GSDME).

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

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.
