Anti-Centrin-1, clone 5L17 ZooMAb^®, Cat. No. ZRB1327, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically targets Centrin-1 and is tested for use in Affinity Binding Assay, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Centrin-1 (UniProt: Q12798; also known as Caltractin isoform 2) is encoded by the CETN1 (also known as CEN1, CETN) gene (Gene ID: 1068) in human. Centrins are calcium-binding phosphoproteins with four Ca2+-binding EF-hand domains that are localized to the centrosome of all eukaryotes. Three separate Centrin genes, CETN1-3, have been identified in both mouse and human. Centrin-1 is a monomeric protein that is expressed in testis tissue and in photoreceptor cells. Its expression has not been reported in any other healthy tissue. It plays a fundamental role in microtubule-organizing center structure and function and has a role in sperm cilia formation. A significantly higher expression of Centrin-1 has been reported in pancreatic and prostate cancers and CETN1 knockdown inhibits cell proliferation in breast cancer. Hence, it has been classified as cancer/testis antigen. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 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.
