| Catalogue Number | ANT-427 |
| Synonyms | Laforin, Lafora PTPase, LAFPTPase, EPM2A, EPM2, MELF, epilepsy progressive myoclonus type 2A Lafora disease. |
| Type | Mouse Anti Human Monoclonal. |
| Introduction | EPM2A is a dual-specificity phosphatase which associates with polyribosomes. The EPM2A protein may be involved in the regulation of glycogen metabolism. Mutations in the EPM2A gene have been linked to myoclonic epilepsy of Lafora. |
| Clone | P3F3AT. |
| Immunogen | Anti-human EPM2A mAb, is derived from hybridization of mouse F0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant human EPM2A amino acids 243-331 purified from E. coli. |
| Ig Subclass | Mouse IgG1 heavy chain and κ light chain. |
| Purification Method | EPM2A antibody was purified from mouse ascitic fluids by protein-G affinity chromatography. |
| Protein formulation | 1mg/ml containing PBS, pH-7.4, & 0.1% Sodium Azide. |
| Storage Procedures | For periods up to 1 month store at 4°C, for longer periods of time, store at -20°C. Prevent freeze thaw cycles. |
| Stability / Shelf Life | 12 months at -20°C. 1 month at 4°C. |
| Applications | EPM2A antibody has been tested by ELISA and Western blot analysis to assure specificity and reactivity. Since application varies, however, each investigation should be titrated by the reagent to obtain optimal results. Recommended dilution range for Western blot analysis is 1:1,000 ~ 2,000. Recommended starting dilution is 1:1,000. |
