Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
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.
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.
GPNMB also known as osteoactivin is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 115 kDa. This protein is highly expressed in various tissues including the bone skin and brain. It also shows notable presence in certain immune cells such as dendritic cells and macrophages. GPNMB localizes mainly on the cell membrane and within lysosomal compartments indicating its involvement in cellular and signaling processes.
GPNMB plays versatile roles in promoting cell growth differentiation and repair. It is involved in processes like tissue regeneration possibly due to its role in cell adhesion and migration. The protein also partakes in osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption therefore linking to skeletal homeostasis. GPNMB forms part of a broader protein complex at the cellular junctions interacting with integrins to mediate its functions.
GPNMB features prominently in osteoclastogenesis and melanoma metastasis pathways. It cooperates with RANKL an important protein in bone metabolism by influencing osteoclast differentiation and activation. In the context of melanoma GPNMB's action in pathways may enhance tumor proliferation and invasion possibly interacting with signaling molecules like AKT or ERK although the specifics remain actively researched.
GPNMB has significant links to both osteoarthritis and certain types of cancer particularly breast cancer and melanoma. In osteoarthritis GPNMB expression often increases reflecting involvement in cartilage degradation processes. Its overexpression correlates with tumor progression in melanoma potentially driven by its interaction with integrin β1 which assists in cellular adhesion and migration within the tumor microenvironment.
