Heparan sulfate (HS) polysaccharides are a family of linear sulfated, heterogeneous polysaccharides found on the cell membrane and in the extracellular matrix as part of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). HSPGs contain a core protein to which heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycan chains are covalently attached. HS contain repeating 1 → 4 linked disaccharide units, in which one monosaccharide is -D-glucosamine residue and the other is a uronic acid. Heparin, a structurally similar polysaccharide, is found within mast cells as a component of serglycin proteoglycans. It is a more sulfated and tissue specific variant of HS. In HS, the d-glucosamine residues are reported to be predominantly N-acetylated, whereas in heparin, they are N-sulfated. Also, in HS the uronates are mainly β-D-glucuronate and in heparin they are predominantly -l-iduronate. Biosynthesis of both HS and heparin begins in the endoplasmic reticulum and proceeds through the Golgi where they are acted upon by several polymerases and modifying enzymes. HS and heparin are known to regulate biological processes through interactions with a large number of proteins. Their poly- and oligosaccharide chains can interact with a very large number of proteins known as heparin binding proteins (HBPs). Changes in HS structure confer the particular protein binding capabilities, which are required for specific biological functions. HS and heparin serve as negatively charged targets for protein binding and attract the positively charged binding sites on proteins via lysine and arginine residues. They can also bind histidine residues under conditions of low pH. Some of these proteins are associated with the extracellular matrix and may be involved in intercellular signaling. This ZooMAbZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
