Anti-L1CAM antibody produced in rabbit，100UL，HPA005830-100UL，Sigma

General description

The gene L1CAM (L1 cell adhesion molecule) encodes a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family. The encoded protein contains a cytoplasmic intracellular domain, one single-pass transmembrane region and an extracellular domain containing six immunoglobulin- (Ig) and five fibronectin (Fn) III-like motifs. The gene is mapped to human chromosome Xq28. It contains 29 exons that encode a protein of 1257 amino acids containing a 19 amino acid signal peptide and a functional L1 protein of 1238 amino acids. It is mainly expressed in the nervous system.

Immunogen

Neural cell adhesion molecule L1 precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-L1CAM antibody has been used to print on epoxy slides prior to EV capturing and analysis. All Prestige Antibodies^®Powered by Atlas Antibodies is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The gene L1CAM (L1 cell adhesion molecule) encodes a glycoprotein that functions in axon growth during development and axon bundling. It interacts with Schwann cells and axons, and mediates neuronal cell migration, and neuronal cell survival. Overexpression of this protein is associated with tumor progression. It has been found to mediate therapeutic resistance in ovarian and pancreatic cancer cells.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.2, containing 40% glycerol and 0.02% sodium azide
