Anti-Angiomotin Antibody

Angiomotin is a cell surface protein that plays a central role in tight junction maintenance and the uptake of proteins at tight junctions but also appears to regulate endothelial cell response and their migration toward growth factors as well as their response to angiostatin. Thus Angiomotin plays a role in blood vessel formation, cell migration, protein localization, chemotaxis, cellular polarity and many more cell-movement/migration activities. Angiomotin is a component of a multi-protein complex associated at tight junctions that includes ARHGAP17, AMOT, MPP5/PALS1, INADL/PATJ and PARD3/PAR3 proteins. Angiomotin is expressed in endothelial cells and found in placenta, blood vessels and skeletal muscle tissue, as well as at the leading edge of lamellipodia and cellular processes.

This Anti-Angiomotin Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting and Immunocytochemistry for the detection of Angiomotin.

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected Angiomotin in MDCK cell lysate (Wells, C. D., et al. (2006). Cell. 125:535-548).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected Angiomotin in MDCK cells (Wells, C. D., et al. (2006). Cell. 125:535-548).

Evaluated by Western Blotting in HEK293 cell lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected Angiomotin in 10 µg of HEK293 cell lysate.

~150/80 kDa observed. Uniprot describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing at ~118 kDa and ~73 kDa This high molecular weight observed could be due to high phosphorylation.

Unpurified
