Anti-Human Ephrin Type A receptor 2 [1C1]

Catalogue Number: AB00430-1.4-BT-ABA

Manufacturer:Vector Laboratories, Inc (ABA)
Type:Recombinant Monoclonal
Alias:EphA2; Epithelial cell kinase; Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor ECK
Shipping Condition:Blue Ice
Storage Condition:2-8°C
Unit(s): 1 mg
Host name: Mouse
Clone: 1C1
Isotype: IgG1
Immunogen: 1C1 was isolated after screening of a non-immunized human Fab phage library. Selection was based on the ability to bind soluble human recombinant EphA2 (residues 183-510). The Fab was subsequently converted to full length human IgG1.
Application: ELISA, FC, IF, WB, Agon

Application Notes

This antibody binds to human Ephrin type-A receptor 2, a receptor tyrosine kinase that binds to membrane-bound ephrin-A ligands residing on adjacent cells, triggering contact-dependent signaling into neighboring cells. Eph2A is involved in pattern formation during development, angiogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. Eph2A has also been found to be expressed in a variety of cancers. This antibody acts as an agonist of Eph2A signaling. The agonist properties of 1C1 is due to ligand mimicry by VDR3. After cell binding, the antibody is able to induce rapid tyrosine phosphorylation, internalization, and degradation of the EphA2 receptor.

Short Description

This chimeric mouse antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Human IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
