Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Serpin B5. AA range:91-140
Specificity
Maspin Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of Maspin protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. Immunohistochemistry: 1/100 - 1/300. Immunofluorescence: 1/200 - 1/1000. ELISA: 1/20000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
function:Tumor suppressor. It blocks the growth, invasion, and metastatic properties of mammary tumors. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity.,similarity:Belongs to the serpin family. Ov-serpin subfamily.,tissue specificity:Normal mammary epithelial cells.,
