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
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: FACS ; IHC ; IF ; WB
  • 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
  • Immunogen UniProt ID: Q13018
  • Isotype: IgG2b
  • Research area: Tissue-specific biology; Cell signaling and signal transduction; Metabolism
  • Myeloma used: Sp2/0-Ag14

  • For Research Use Only
