Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactive Species Rat Host Species Mouse Immunogen NS0-Derived Recombinant Rat ALK-7 Extracellular Domain Endotoxin Level <0.1 EU/µg as determined by the LAL method Formulation This monoclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium or preservatives present. Storage and Handling The lyophilized antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2828127 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Rat ALK-7 this monoclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 1-2 µg/ml. This monoclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:M114 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for Rat ALK-7 is 20 ng/lane under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionSpecificity Mouse Anti-Rat Activin Receptor-Like Kinase 7 (ALK-7) (Clone 118310) recognizes an epitope on Rat ALK-7. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype. Background Activin receptor-like kinase (ALK) 7 is a type I serine/threonine kinase receptor of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta family of proteins.1 ALK7 is most abundantly expressed in human brain, pancreas and colon.2 It negatively regulates glucose-stimulated insulin release in β-cells3 and plays an important role in regulating the functional plasticity of pancreatic islets.3 ALK7 also has an important role in the regulation of body fat deposition. These has implications for the development of treatments against diabetes and obesity.3 Antigen DetailsPubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org References & Citations1. Kim, SJ. et al.
