Quick Overview for APP antibody (AA 737-751) (ABIN319013)

Target: APP (Amyloid beta (A4) Precursor Protein (APP))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This APP antibody is un-conjugated

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

Product Details anti-APP Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 737-751

Specificity: This antibody recognises both intact APP, and also the C99 fragment generated by Beta-secretase. The sequence recognised by this antibody corresponds to amino acids 85-99 of the C99 fragment. The C99 fragment itself is a substrate for gamma-secretase to generate the 4 kDa beta amyloid peptide which is found in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients.

Purification: Affinity Chromatography

Immunogen: Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 737-751 of Human APP

Isotype: IgG

Target Details for APP

Target: APP (Amyloid beta (A4) Precursor Protein (APP))

Alternative Name: Amyloid beta A4 Protein / APP

Background: Amyloid beta precursor protein gene (ABPP) encodes a cell surface receptor and transmembrane precursor protein that is cleaved by secretases to form a number of peptides. Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. Isoform APP695 is the predominant form in neuronal tissue, isoform APP751 and isoform APP770 are widely expressed in nonneuronal cells. Isoform APP751 is the most abundant form in T lymphocytes. ABPP is expressed in all fetal tissues examined with the highest levels in brain, kidney, heart and spleen with weak expression observed in liver, ABPP is induced during neuronal differentiation. In the adult brain, highest expression of ABPP gene is found in the frontal lobe of the cortex and in the anterior perisylvian cortex opercular gyri, moderate expression in the cerebellar cortex, the posterior perisylvian cortex opercular gyri and the temporal associated cortex. Weak expression is found in the striate, extra striate and motor cortices. Mutations in ABPP have been implicated in autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease and cerebroarterial amyloidosis (cerebral amyloid angiopathy).Synonyms: ABPP, APPI, Alzheimer disease amyloid protein, Amyloid Precursor Protein, CVAP, Cerebral vascular amyloid peptide, PreA4, Protease nexin-II
