HCA088A recognises human enolase-phosphatase E1, otherwise known as MASA. MASA is a bi-functional enzyme which is involved in the methionine-salvage pathway. The methionine-salvage pathway is a ubiquitous biochemical pathway which maintains methionine levels in a variety of organisms including mammals. MASA promotes the conversion of 2,3-¬diketo-5-methylthio-1-phosphopentane to 1,2-dihydroxy-3-keto-5-methylthiopentene in the salvage pathway. The reaction is carried out by enolization and dephosphorylation of the substrate.
Product Form
A bivalent human recombinant Fab selected from the HuCAL® GOLD phage display library, expressed inE. coli. 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. This antibody is supplied lyophilised.
Storage
Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
12 months from date of reconstitution.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Due to the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA), this antibody is unsuitable for use as a capture reagent in sandwich ELISA applications. This product is also available without BSA,please enquire.
