Overview

Properties

Applications

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab39161 in the following tested applications.

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

Application Abreviews Notes
WB 1/1000 - 1/5000. Detects a band of approximately 110 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 93 kDa). 1/1000 (when using colorimetric substrates such as BCIP/NBT) and 1/5000 (for chemiluminescent substrates). Higher concentrations of antibody may be needed for samples from more distantly related species. The antibody recognizes a 110 kDa band in reduced Western blots of conditioned media or cell lysates, which is rapidly converted to a 55-60 kDa band. Note: EDTA/EGTA treatment of tissues or lysates is required to see latent zymogen. Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection.
ICC/IF Use a concentration of 10 µg/ml.

Target

  • Function
    Cleaves the membrane-bound precursor of TNF-alpha to its mature soluble form. Responsible for the proteolytical release of soluble JAM3 from endothelial cells surface. Responsible for the proteolytic release of several other cell-surface proteins, including p75 TNF-receptor, interleukin 1 receptor type II, p55 TNF-receptor, transforming growth factor-alpha, L-selectin, growth hormone receptor, MUC1 and the amyloid precursor protein. Also involved in the activation of Notch pathway.
  • Tissue specificity
    Ubiquitously expressed. Expressed at highest levels in adult heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testes, ovary and small intestine, and in fetal brain, lung, liver and kidney.
  • Sequence similarities
    Contains 1 disintegrin domain.
    Contains 1 peptidase M12B domain.
  • Domain
    Must be membrane anchored to cleave the different substrates. The cytoplasmic domain is not required for the this activity. Only the catalytic domain is essential to shed TNF and p75 TNFR.
    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.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    The precursor is cleaved by a furin endopeptidase.
    Phosphorylated. Stimulation by growth factor or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate induces phosphorylation of Ser-819 but decreases phosphorylation of Ser-791.

    I have been using your rabbit polyclonal against the propeptide domain of ADAM17 to examine an ADAM17 prep and get no recognition with it at all whereas your other Abs (ab39163 and ab28233) are fine. I think my protein has been cleaved following Arg58...

    you are correct in assuming that ab39161 recognizes only the prodomain cleaved during ADAM17 maturation. This maturation can be prevented using divalent metal chelators such as EDTA or EGTA. One of the customers who submitted an Abreview for ab39163 no...
