murine MAb against human FSAP, light chain
Description
Factor VII-activating protease (FSAP) is a serin-protease present in human plasma as a single-chain proenzyme (64 kDa) at a concentration of 12 µg/ml. The proenzyme can be activated by an autocatalytic mechanism or by urokinase generating the active two-chain form (40 and 30 kDa).
FSAP has the ability to activate both coagulation factor VII independent of tissue factor and pro-urokinase. Thus, FSAP has a dual function as a potent pro-coagulant and a pro-fibrinolytic agent.
Preparation
The monoclonal antibodies ADG4601 and ADG4602 are directed against the light chain of human FSAP.
The antibodies are murine IgG1 monoclonal antibodies purified from cell culture supernatants via Protein G affinity chromatography. Purified human two-chain human Factor VII-activating protease was used as the immunizing agent.
Presentation
Screw capped vial containing 100 µg of purified antibody in 50 mM TBS pH 7.4 + 0.01 NaN3. The IgG concentration is 1 mg/ml. Spin the vial briefly before opening.
Storage and Stability
Store the antibody at 2°-8°C. For long-term storage the antibody should be aliquoted and stored at –20°C or colder. It is recommended to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
