Tool Details
- Tool name: Anti-PLA2R [12-6-5]
- Clone: [12-6-5]
- Tool type: Antibodies
- Tool sub-type: Primary Antibody
- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugate: Unconjugated

- Description: Monoclonal antibody which detects PLA2R, the major antigen for idiopathic membranous nephropathy. Background and Research Application PLA2R is the major auto-antigen in the autoimmune kidney disease, membranous nephropathy. Detection of PLA2R antigen by IHC in the immune complexes present in the glomerular basement membrane is used as a diagnostic marker for the disease. PLA2R is also involved in clearance followed by suppression of their potent enzymatic activities of secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) from the blood, including group sPLA2-X and a snake venom sPLA2. PLA2R acts a tumour suppressor protein and it is associated with cell senescence and differentiated cells.
- Immunogen: Human PLA2R extracellular sequence N-C3 (containing domains N-terminal Cysteine rich-FibII-CTLD1-CTLD2-CTLD3). Genbank acc no. U17033; amino acids 20-663 Recombinant protein expressed in HEK 293-EBNA-1 cells
