Purification: This product is an IgG fraction antibody purified from monospecific antiserum by a multi-step process which includes delipidation, salt fractionation and ion exchange chromatography followed by extensive dialysis against the buffer stated above.

Immunogen:

Immunogen: This purified antibody was prepared from rabbit serum after repeated immunizations with a recombinant human fetuin (a₂-HS glycoprotein) processed to remove a 40 amino acid residue bridging peptide resulting in the mature form of the protein.

Immunogen Type: Conjugated Peptide

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes:

Application Note: This purified polyclonal antibody has been tested by western blot. Although not tested, this antibody is likely functional in ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and immunoprecipitation.  A doublet band or slightly lower molecular weight band (see image) may be visible by western blot due to proteolytic processing, variable glycosylation and/or phosphorylation.  Proteolytic processing may include the removal of a 40 amino acid residue bridging peptide from the A and B chains of fetuin in vivo.

Background: Background: Human fetuin (2-Heremans-Schmid-glycoprotein or α₂-HS-glycoprotein) is a major plasma glycoprotein predominantly synthesized in the liver.  Human fetuin is named after its bovine homolog.  Fetuins are found in most mammals. Human fetuin is a negative acute-phase protein, normal circulating levels in adults (300-600 μg/mL) fall significantly (30-50 % ) during injury and infection. The biological role of fetuin is unknown, although it has been implicated as an immunomodulator that can participate in stimulation of bacterial phagocytosis by neutrophils and promotion of endocytosis by mouse macrophages. Hepatocytes are the principal cell source of circulating fetuin, but it also is expressed by monocyte/macrophages. Fetuins occur in large amounts in blood and cerebrospinal fluid and accumulate to high concentrations in calcified bone.  The fetuin promoter region has several potential interleukin 6-responsive elements, and its synthesis is down-regulated during injury and inflammation. Fetuin is an acidic glycoprotein with three N-linked and three O-linked oligosaccharide chains, whose terminal sugar residues are rich in sialic acid (N-acetylneuraminic acid), contributing to its net negative charge. A role for fetuin as a carrier of bioactive molecules has been proposed based on observations that it binds and carries Ca2+ ion.  Fetuin is implicated in bone remodeling, immune function and may play a role in tumor progression of certain cell types.
