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.

Clone C26 is a ZooMAb^® mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Dystrophin. It targets an epitope from the internal region.

TrpE-tagged recombinant fragment corresponding to 110 amino acids from the internal region of human Dystrophin (from the Exon 43-coded pectrin-like repeat 16 region).

Anti-Dystrophin, clone 2C6 (MANDYS106) ZooMAb^®, Cat. No. ZMS1051, is a recombinant Mouse monoclonal antibody that specifically targets Dystrophin and is tested for use in Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Dystrophin (UniProt: P11532; also known as DMD) is encoded by the DMD gene (Gene ID: 1756) in human. Dystrophin is a rod-shaped cytoplasmic protein and a vital part of a protein complex that connects the cytoskeleton of a muscle fiber to the surrounding extracellular matrix through the cell membrane. It is expressed in muscle fibers accumulating in the costameres of myoplasm at the sarcolemma. Its expression is also reported in brain, muscle, kidney, lung and testis. Dystrophin is localized to the inner part of the muscle fiber cell membrane (sarcolemma), where it forms the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) that links the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton. The N-terminus is the actin-binding domain, and the carboxy-terminal domain interacts with beta-dystroglycan as well as dystrobrevin and the syntrophin. The central rod domain that comprises the major mass of the dystrophin molecule forms a flexible, rod-shaped structure. Dystrophin plays an important role in stabilizing the muscle fiber against the mechanical forces of muscle contraction by providing a shock-absorbing connection between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. The DMD gene is the largest known gene in humans and mutations in this gene are known to cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a sex-linked recessive disorder that affects males aged 3 to 7 year as proximal muscle weakness with steady progression. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
