Anti-Homer 1 Antibody, clone 1F5 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Homer protein homolog 1 (UniProt: Q86YM7; also known as Homer-1) is encoded by the HOMER1 (also known as SYN47) gene (Gene ID: 9456) in human. Homer protein homolog 1 (Homer-1) is a scaffolding protein involved in intracellular signaling pathways and neuronal function. It plays a critical role in receptor clustering, cell signaling modulation, and synaptic plasticity. Homer-1 contains an N-terminal coiled-coil region that allows for the formation of homo- and heteromeric interactions with other proteins, while the C-terminal domain binds to various target proteins involved in synaptic signaling. Homer-1 interacts with several proteins such as metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs), and Shank proteins. Homer-1 is widely expressed in various tissues, but it is highly enriched in the brain, particularly in regions associated with synaptic transmission, such as the cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. Dysregulation of Homer-1 expression and function has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including schizophrenia, Alzheimer′s disease, epilepsy, and drug addiction. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

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.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 17 amino acids from the C-terminal region of Homer-1.

Clone 1F5 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that detects Homer-1. It targets an epitope within 17 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Homer-1.

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.

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.
