Anti-C1QBP Antibody, clone 3D2 ZooMAb^® Rabbit Monoclonal

Complement component 1 Q subcomponent-binding protein, mitochondrial (UniProt: Q07021; also known as ASF/SF2-associated protein p32, Glycoprotein gC1qBP, C1qBP, Hyaluronan-binding protein 1, Mitochondrial matrix protein p32, gC1q-R protein, p33, SF2AP32) is encoded by the C1QBP (also known as GC1QBP, HABP1, SF2P32) gene (Gene ID: 708) in human. C1QBP is a highly conserved, multifunctional and multicompartmental protein involved in inflammation and infection processes, ribosome biogenesis, mitochondrial protein synthesis, regulation of apoptosis, and transcriptional regulation and pre-mRNA splicing. Its high expression is observed cardiac and skeletal muscle. It is synthesized with a transit peptide (aa 1-73), which is proteolytically processed after it reaches the mitochondrial matrix. It is predominantly localized to mitochondria, but is also detected in cytoplasm, membrane, and nucleus. It primarily localized in mitochondrial matrix and is associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. It also supports translation of the mitochondrially encoded respiratory chain protein complexes I, III, IV and V. It is also secreted by activated lymphocytes. At the cell surface is thought to act as an endothelial receptor for plasma proteins of the complement and kallikrein-kinin cascades. It is also reported to be a putative receptor for C1q; specifically binds to the globular ′heads′ of C1q thus inhibiting C1. It can also bind other plasma proteins, such as coagulation factor XII leading to its autoactivation. The secreted form may enhance both extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation pathways. Mutations in C1QBP gene has been linked to combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 33 (COXPD33), an autosomal recessive disorder leading to multiple mitochondrial respiratory chain defects and impaired mitochondrial energy metabolism. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Clone 3D2 is a ZooMAb^® Rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects C1QBP. It targets an epitope within 16 amino acids from the internal region.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 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.

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.

Reconstitute lyophilized antibody pellet with 25μL of ultrapure water or Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS). Please refer to our reconstitution protocol and the specific application guidance on the suggested starting dilutions and sample type.
