HCA008 binds to the C-terminal 122 amino acids of mKIAA0051, also known as Murine IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein 1.
The mKIAA0051 protein (IQGAP1) has a fundamental role in cell motility and invasion. It binds to activated CDC42 but does not stimulate its GTPase activity. It also associates with calmodulin and regulates cadherin-based cell adhesion. Potentially mKIAA0051 serves as an assembly scaffold for the organization of a multimolecular complex that would interface incoming signals to the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton at the plasma membrane.
HCA008 may bind to the human Ras GTPase-activating-like protein IQGAP1 (p195), due to 98% sequence identity in the antigen region.
Product Form
A lyophilised bivalent human recombinant Fab selected from the HuCAL®GOLD phage display library. Expressed inE. coliand purified using NiNTA affinity chromatography. This Fab fragment is dimerized via a helix-turn-helix motif. The antibody is tagged with a myc-tag (EQKLISEEDL) and a his-tag (HHHHHH) at the C-terminus of the antibody heavy chain.
Activity
Activity was tested by indirect ELISA: recombinant purified mKIAA0051 (5 µg/ml) plus unrelated control proteins were immobilized on a microtiter plate. Specific binding was monitored by first adding HCA008 (2 µg/ml), then adding a secondary antibody (goat anti-human F(ab')2 fragment specific, AP conjugate. 1:5000 diluted). A fluorescent signal was created by adding the AP substrate Attophos. The signal on the antigen is at least 5-fold above background, whereas the signal on the control antigens is less than 1.5-fold above background.
