Introduction
ANXA1, a member of the Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipid binding protein family, plays a crucial role in regulating inflammation and membrane fusion. These proteins, with molecular weights ranging from 35kDa to 40kDa, reside on the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. ANXA1, specifically, exhibits a molecular weight of 40kDa and possesses phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity, enabling it to bind two to four calcium ions with high affinity. This inhibition of phospholipase A2, an enzyme essential for the production of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandins and leukotrienes, suggests potential anti-inflammatory properties of ANXA1. Moreover, ANXA1 facilitates membrane fusion and participates in exocytosis. The ability to identify ANXA1 protein through immunocytochemistry provides a straightforward, highly sensitive, and specific method for diagnosing hairy cell leukemia.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has undergone sterile filtration.
Formulation
The solution is prepared at a concentration of 1mg/ml and contains the following components: PBS (pH 7.4), 10% Glycerol, and 0.02% Sodium Azide.
Storage Procedures
For short-term storage (up to 1 month), the solution should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage periods, it is recommended to store at -20°C. To maintain stability, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Stability / Shelf Life
The antibody remains stable for 12 months when stored at -20°C and for 1 month at 4°C.
Applications
This antibody has undergone rigorous testing through ELISA and Western blot analysis, confirming its specificity and reactivity. However, it's essential to note that optimal results may vary depending on the specific application. Therefore, titration of the reagent is recommended for each individual investigation to determine the most effective working concentration.
