Aminopeptidase A (Glutamyl Aminopeptidase, EAP, AP-A, Differentiation Antigen gp160, CD249, ENPEP)

Aminopeptidase A is a zinc-dependent metallopeptidase that selectively cleaves N-terminal Glu, or Asp residues from peptides. In mice, it is expressed on early B cells and on a subset of thymic cortical epithelial cells, but not on mature lymphocytes. Additionally, it is expressed on endothelial cells, intestinal epithelium, proximal renal tubules, and other non-hemopoietic tissues. In humans, angiotensin II is the the best-defined biologically active substrate of APA. Although its role in the immune response is still uncertain, its expression on renal cell carcinoma has been the focus of some cancer research studies.\n\nApplications: \nSuitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nELISA: 1:64,000\nWestern Blot: 1-3ug/ml\nImmunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded): 3.75ug/ml \nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
