Target description

Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunit alpha isoform (UniProt: P67775; also known as EC:3.1.3.16, PP2A-alpha, Replication protein C, RP-C) is encoded by the PPP2CA gene (Gene ID: 5515) in human. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a ubiquitously expressed enzyme that contributes 0.3 to 1% of the total cellular protein in the mammalian cell and regulates various functions by dephosphorylating many critical molecules, such as Akt, p53, c-Myc, CK2, S6 kinase, and -catenin. It is the major phosphatase for microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). PP2A acts as a pivotal cellular switch controlling important events in cell, such as cell cycle, apoptosis, and autophagy. It suppresses mitogenic signals and is suggested as a tumor suppressor. PP2A is made up of a functional heterotrimeric complex, which includes a structural subunit (PP2AA), a regulatory subunit (PP2AB), and a catalytic subunit (PP2AC). The regulatory subunit determines its substrate specificity. Over 20 different interchangeable regulatory subunits have been described that allows it to act on a large number of substrates. PP2AC has multiple metal ion binding sites and binds two manganese ions per subunit. Two isoforms of PP2AC (alpha and beta) have been described that display high degree of homology. PP2AC alpha also has two isoforms (PP2AC alpha 1 and alpha 2). The PP2AC alpha 2 isoform is shown to be catalytically inactive because it lacks amino acids 193-246. Aberrant expression and mutations in the PP2AA and PP2AB subunits are reported in various human malignancies. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

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.

Reconstitution

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.

Storage and Stability

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.
