General description

We are committed to bringing you greener alternative products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry.This antibody is Preservative-free, produced without the harm or sacrifice of animals and exceptionally stable to allow for ambient shipping and storage if needed and thus aligns with "Waste Prevention", "Designing Safer Chemicals" and "Design for Energy Efficiency". Click here for more information.
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.

Specificity

Clone 1G20 is a ZooMAb® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Transglutaminase 2 (TGM2). It targets an epitope within 21 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 21 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Transglutaminase 2.

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Western Blotting in K562 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected Transglutaminase 2 in K562 cell lysate.

Tested applications

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Transglutaminase 2 in lysates from C2C12 and L6 cells and Human Placenta tissue.

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound Transglutaminase 2 peptide with a KD of 2.6 x 10-7 in an affinity binding assay.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Transglutaminase 2 in human placenta tissue sections.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Target description

Protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase 2 (UniProt: P21980; also known as EC: 2.3.2.13, Tissue transglutaminase, Transglutaminase C, TG(C), TGC, TGase C, Transglutaminase H, TGase H, Transglutaminase-2, TGase-2, TG2) is encoded by D13the TGM2 gene (Gene ID: 7052) in human. TG2 is a multi-domain, multi-functional enzyme that is shown to post-translationally modify proteins by catalyzing the formation of intermolecular isopeptide bonds between glutamine and lysine side-chains. It catalyzes the calcium-dependent covalent modification of protein-bound glutamine side chains through transamidation or deamidation reactions. It is mainly localized in the cytoplasm and may be found in the nucleus at much lower levels. Recycling endosomes is reported to be essential for externalization of TG2, which does not follow the classical ER/Golgi-dependent secretion pathway, but is targeted to perinuclear recycling endosomes, and is delivered inside these vesicles prior to externalization. Inactivation of recycling endosomes or blocking endosome fusion with the plasma membrane is shown to block TG2 secretion. TG2 also plays a key role during apoptosis, both by promoting the cross-linking of cytoskeletal proteins resulting in condensation of the cytoplasm and by mediating cross-linking proteins of the extracellular matrix, resulting in the irreversible formation of scaffolds that stabilize the integrity of the dying cells before their clearance by phagocytosis, thereby preventing the leakage of harmful intracellular components. It also participates in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases and certain cancers. This ZooMAbZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

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.

Storage and Stability

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.
