HLA Class I alpha G (HLAG) antibody

Antigen: HLA Class I alpha G (HLAG)

Clonality: Monoclonal (MEM-G-2)

Host: Mouse

Reactivity: Human

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN238485

Additional Information

Characteristics: Synonyms: HLA-6.0, HLAG, MHC class I antigen G, HLA class I histocompatibility antigen

Alternative name: HLA class I alpha G / HLA-G

Swiss-Prot: P17693

Immunogen: Bacterially expressed recombinant HLA-G heavy chain (denaturated).

Cross-Reactivity: Human

Isotype: IgG1  (Matching secondary antibodies)

Clone: MEM-G-2

Description: HLA G belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. It is a heterodimer consisting of aheavy chain (with a1, a2, a3 domains) and a light chain (beta 2 microglobulin). Alternatesplicing provides both soluble and membrane bound forms of HLA G, with two solubleisoforms and four membrane bound isoforms. HLA G may be part of the fetal protectionsystem and is expressed on fetal derived placental cells.

Specificity: The antibody MEM-G/2 recognizes the free heavy chain of all the HLA-G isoforms. HLA-Gbelongs to the MHC Class I molecules (MHC Class Ib, nonclassical) and it is expressed onthe surface of trophoblast cells. Species: Human. Others not tested.
