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.

GATOR complex protein DEPDC5 (UniProt: O75140; also known as DEP domain-containing protein 5) is encoded by the DEPDC5 (also known as KIAA0645) gene (Gene ID: 9681) in human. DEPDC5 is a component of the GATOR 1 complex that includes DEPDC5, NPRL2, and NPRL3. Its expression is observed in developing and adult brain. It acts as an inhibitor of the amino acid sensing branch of the TORC1 pathway. It acts as a negative regulator of mTOR signaling. Its DEP domain (Dsh-Egl10-pleckstrin) is localized in amino acids 1187-1262. Human cells heterozygous for DEPDC5 loss-of-function mutations are reported to be haploinsufficient for control of mTORC1 signaling. DEPDC5 +/- neurons exhibit hyperactivation of mTORC1 and enlarged somas, a phenotype that can be rescued with mTOR1 inhibition. Nonsense and missense mutation in DEPDC5 gene are known to cause familial temporal lobe epilepsy that is characterized by focal seizures arising from different cortical regions in different family members. Eight isoforms of DEPDC5 have ben described that are produced by alternative splicing. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

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.

0.3 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

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.
