Properties

Applications

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab23477 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Notes
IHC-P IHC-P: 1/10. PubMed: 18317594
ELISA ELISA: 1/30000.
IHC-FoFr IHC-FoFr: 1/10.
WB WB: 1/1000. Detects a band of approximately 25-35 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 23 kDa). Non reducing conditions will give multiple bands of 35, 70 and 55 kDa. Do not use serum for blocking as serum will contain Lipocalin 2

Target

  • FunctionIron-trafficking protein involved in multiple processes such as apoptosis, innate immunity and renal development. Binds iron through association with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2,5-DHBA), a siderophore that shares structural similarities with bacterial enterobactin, and delivers or removes iron from the cell, depending on the context. Iron-bound form (holo-24p3) is internalized following binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor, leading to release of iron and subsequent increase of intracellular iron concentration. In contrast, association of the iron-free form (apo-24p3) with the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor is followed by association with an intracellular siderophore, iron chelation and iron transfer to the extracellular medium, thereby reducing intracellular iron concentration. Involved in apoptosis due to interleukin-3 (IL3) deprivation: iron-loaded form increases intracellular iron concentration without promoting apoptosis, while iron-free form decreases intracellular iron levels, inducing expression of the proapoptotic protein BCL2L11/BIM, resulting in apoptosis. Involved in innate immunity, possibly by sequestrating iron, leading to limit bacterial growth.
  • Tissue specificityExpressed in bone marrow and in tissues that are prone to exposure to microorganism. High expression is found in bone marrow as well as in uterus, prostate, salivary gland, stomach, appendix, colon, trachea and lung. Not found in the small intestine or peripheral blood leukocytes.
  • Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
  • Cellular localizationSecreted. Upon binding to the SLC22A17 (24p3R) receptor, it is internalized.

  • ab23477 staining human skin tissue sections by IHC-P.  Sections were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and subjected to heat mediated antigen retrieval prior to blocking with 1% BSA for 1 hour at 25°C.  The primary antibody was diluted 1/50 and incubated with the sample for 20 hours at 4°C.  A biotinylated horse anti-mouse antibody diluted 1/200 was used as the secondary.
