anti-TACE Antibody

TACE/ADAM17

TACE, CD156b, Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 17; ADAM 17; TNF-alpha-converting enzyme; TNF-alpha convertase; Snake venom-like protease

Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is a proinflammatory cytokine and contributes to a variety of inflammatory disease responses and programmed cell death. TNF-α is synthesized as a 26K type II membrane-bound precursor that is cleaved by a convertase to generate secreted 17K mature TNF-α. TNF-α converting enzyme (TACE) protein was recently purified and the human and mouse TACE cDNAs were cloned by several groups separately. TACE is a membrane-bond metalloprotease-disintegrin in the family of mammalian ADAM (for a disintegrin and metalloprotease). TACE also processes other cell surface proteins, including TNF receptor, TGF-α, L-selectin adhesion molecule, and alpha-cleavage of amyloid protein precursor (APP). TACE mRNA is expressed in a variety of human and murine tissues.

Rabbit

Polyclonal

Rabbit IgG

Human, mouse, rat

Synthetic peptide surrounding amino acid 810 of human TACE

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) peptide affinity purified rabbit anti-TACE polyclonal antibody in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 50% glycerol, 1% BSA, 0.02% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot

Western blotting (1-2 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. The immunoaffinity purified antibody detects 80-130 kDa bands, which may represent mature protein, precursor and glycosylated TACE. HeLa and Jurkat cell lysate can be used as positive control.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
