Anti-Mouse Vaspin (360-381aa) Antibody

Vaspin (also Serpin A12, serine proteinase inhibitor-clade A#12) is a 45-50 kDa, secreted member of the alpha 1-antitrypsin (clade A)-subfamily, Serpin superfamily of protease inhibitors. It is produced by visceral adipocytes, and adipocyte-derived stem cells during obesity or diabetes. The presence of vaspin reverses insulin?resistance. Its molecular target is unknown. Human Serpin A12 is 414 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains a 20 aa signal sequence and a 394 aa mature region. A potential "active" inhibitor site lies between Arg363 and Met378. Mature human Vaspin shares 61% aa identity with mouse Vaspin.

Store at 4°C if intended for use within one month, otherwise, store at -20°C to -80°C. The lyophilized antibody is stable for at least 18 months after the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -80°C. After reconstitution, it can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20°C to -80°C in a manual defrost freezer for 6 months without detectable loss of activity. Upon reconstitution, the antibody can also be stored for 30 days at 4°C. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles, as this will lower the activity of the antibody.
