Anti-Mouse Mammaglobin Antibody, Biotinylated

Mammaglobin (MAM) is a member of the secretoglobin superfamily, which also includes uteroglobin (Clara cell protein; Clara cell 10 kDa protein), lymphoglobin, and the lipophilins A, B (BU101), and C (lacryglobin; mammaglobin B). In human breast tissue, mammaglobin is secreted as a glycosylated peptide, which is covalently associated with lipophilin B. Mammaglobin, a mammary-specific member of the uteroglobin family, is known to be overexpressed in human breast cancer. It has been used as a specific molecular marker for breast cancer diagnosis. Mammaglobin is expressed mainly by breast epithelial cells, and this feature has been used to detect circulating breast cancer cells and occult metastases in sentinel axillary lymph nodes of breast cancer patients.

The antibody is stable for at least 1 year from the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted antibody can also be aliquotted and stored at 4°C for 1 month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer for many months without detectable loss activity. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

The antibody detects specifically target derived from human protein by ELISA and Dot Blotting. Cross reactivity with mouse and rat are not tested yet.
