Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

FAP also known as fibroblast activation protein alpha or seprase is a serine protease with a mass of approximately 97 kDa. It is largely expressed in embryonic tissues certain carcinomas and tissue remodeling sites. FAP acts mechanistically by exhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase and endopeptidase activities breaking down peptide chains. Cellular membrane-bound FAP localizes mainly on reactive stromal fibroblasts not normal tissues making it an interesting target for research.
Biological function summary

FAP plays a role in tissue remodeling and wound healing influencing the microenvironment of tumors and fibrotic tissues. It contributes to extracellular matrix degradation participating in the complex network of proteases. FAP is not a standalone unit but part of a larger complex that interacts with other proteases helping in cell migration and invasion. As a result its activity impacts processes like inflammation and carcinogenesis.

Pathways

FAP participates in processes related to tissue repair and cancer progression. Significant pathways include the degradation of the extracellular matrix and the PI3K/AKT signaling. It functions alongside proteins like DPP4 another dipeptidyl peptidase in these pathways. The matrix breakdown is central to cancer metastasis and wound healing enhancing our understanding of FAP's role in larger biological contexts.

FAP has links with cancer and fibrosis. Its expression correlates with aggressive tumors and poor prognosis in cancers such as breast and ovarian. In fibrotic diseases like pulmonary and liver fibrosis it contributes to excessive matrix deposition and tissue stiffening. FAP's involvement alongside collagenases in these disorders makes it a target of potential therapeutic interest.

Target data

The protein expressed by the FAP gene is a cell surface glycoprotein serine protease involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and various cellular processes such as tissue remodeling, fibrosis, wound healing, inflammation, and tumor growth. It exists in both plasma membrane-bound and soluble forms, exhibiting post-proline cleaving endopeptidase activity, specifically targeting Ala/Ser-Gly-Pro-Ser/Asn/Ala sequences in substrates like alpha-2-antiplasmin SERPINF2 and SPRY2. FAP protein degrades gelatin and heat-denatured type I collagen but not native type I and IV collagens, nor vitronectin, tenascin, laminin, fibronectin, fibrin, or casein. It also has dipeptidyl peptidase activity, hydrolyzing prolyl bonds when the penultimate residue is proline, with a preference for sequences such as Ala-Pro and Gly-Pro. It acts on natural neuropeptides like neuropeptide Y, peptide YY, substance P, and brain natriuretic peptide 32. In its membrane form, in association with DPP4, PLAUR, or integrins, FAP is involved in pericellular ECM proteolysis, promoting cell adhesion, migration, invasion, and plays roles in development, wound healing, and cell invasiveness in malignant melanoma. It supports tumor progression by facilitating angiogenesis, collagen degradation, apoptosis, and reducing immune response. Additionally, it promotes glioma cell invasion by degrading brevican and functions as a tumor suppressor in melanocytic cells by regulating cell proliferation and survival independently of its serine protease activity.
