Applications
Show applications key
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab38908 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
WB: 1/1000 - 1/5000.Detects a band of approximately 54 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 54 kDa).(Recommended starting dilution of 1/1000 (when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT) and 1/5000 (for chemiluminescent substrates). Higher concentrations of antibody may be needed for non human samples. When used against the reduced protein, the antibody identifies bands at 54 kDa, 45 kDa, and 22 kDa. Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection.)
Target
Function
May be involved in tissue injury and remodeling. Has significant elastolytic activity. Can accept large and small amino acids at the P1' site, but has a preference for leucine. Aromatic or hydrophobic residues are preferred at the P1 site, with small hydrophobic residues (preferably alanine) occupying P3.
Tissue specificity
Found in alveolar macrophages but not in peripheral blood monocytes.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase M10A family.
Contains 4 hemopexin-like domains.
Domain
The conserved cysteine present in the cysteine-switch motif binds the catalytic zinc ion, thus inhibiting the enzyme. The dissociation of the cysteine from the zinc ion upon the activation-peptide release activates the enzyme.
Cellular localization
Secreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix.

Predicted band size : 54 kDa
Observed band size : 54 kDa
Additional bands at : 22 kDa,45 kDa,67 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.
When this antibody is used against the reduced protein, it identifies bands at 54 kDa, 45 kDa, and 22 kDa.
