| Recommended Applications | ELISA (recommended work dilution= 1:2, 000-5, 000), Western Blotting( recommended work dilution= 1:1000-2000), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)(recommended work dilution= see related products) |
| Reconstitution | Antibody is supplied lyophilized and purified originally containing PBS without any preservative stabilizers. The final amount is indicated on the vial. The antibody is stable for at least a year from the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted antibody (recommended with H20 1 mg/ml) can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer for months without detectable loss of activity. Upon reconstitution, the antibody can also be stored for months at 4°C. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles. |

Description
Description
Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein (ZAG), a 43-kDa protein, is overexpressed in certain human malignant tumors and acts as a lipid-mobilizing factor to stimulate lipolysis in adipocytes leading to cachexia in mice implanted with ZAG-producing tumors. ZAG originally isolated from human plasma, is also found in secretory epithelia cells including those of breast, prostate, and liver, as well as in bronchial, gastrointestinal, and sweat glands. Overexpression of ZAG occurs in several types of malignant tumor, and consequently ZAG has been used as a cancer marker.
Specificity
The antibody can specifically bind to its immunogen, and did not show any cross reactivity with unrelated antigens in ELISA. The specificity for binding to recombinant protein, cellular protein and native antigen is not defined. Cross reactivity with mouse and rat Zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein was not tested.
Storage
Keep at 4°C if intended for use within a month. Store at -20°C to -70°C for longer storage. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
