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 1D16 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects N-WASP. It targets an epitope within 15 amino acids from the N-terminal half.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids from the N-terminal half of human N-WASP.

Actin nucleation-promoting factor WASL (UniProt: O00401; also known as Neural Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein 1, N-WASP) is encoded by the WASL gene (Gene ID: 8976) in human. WASP, N-WASP, and WAVE are scaffold proteins that link cell surface signals to actin cytoskeleton. WASP expression is restricted to the non-erythroid hematopoietic cells, whereas N-WASP and WAVE are expressed ubiquitously.  WASP and N-WASP share similar protein domain organization, which comprises the WASP homolog domain (WH) at their N-terminus followed by a basic region, GTPase binding domain, a proline rich region, and a verproline-cofilin-acidic region (VCA) at its C-terminus. N-WASP is detected both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus. In the cytoplasm it regulates actin polymerization by stimulating the actin-nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex. In the nucleus N-WASP resides within a large nuclear protein complex containing polypyrimidine-tract-binding-protein-associated splicing factor-non-Pou-domain octamer-binding protein (PSF-NonO), nuclear actin, and RNA polymerase II.  N-WASP is reported to be preferentially localized in the cytoplasm in its phosphorylated state and in the nucleus when it is unphosphorylated. In resting cells, N-WASP is known to exist in an auto-inhibitory state that prevents the interaction between VCA region and the Arp2/3 complex. Upon binding of activate Cdc42 with GTPase binding domain N-WASP is activated due to their release from the auto-inhibitory state. 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.

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
