purity :
Antigen-specific affinity chromatography followed by Protein A affinity chromatography
form :
Supplied as solution form in 0.01M PBS, pH7.4, containing 0.05% Proclin-300, 50% glycerol.
concentration :
0.89 mg/ml
storage stability :
Storage: Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Store at 4ºC for frequent use. Aliquot and store at -20ºC for 12 months. Stability Test: The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37°C for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
tested application :
WB; IHC; ICC; IP.

ncbi summary :
This gene belongs to the serine protease family. The encoded protein is an inducible cell-surface bound glycoprotein specifically expressed in tumor-associated fibroblasts and pericytes of epithelial tumors and has protease and gelatinase activity. The protein plays a role in remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and may affect tumorigenesis and tissue repair. Alternately spliced transcript variants of this gene are described in the literature (PMID 9139873), but the full-length sequence of these variants is not available. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]
uniprot summary :
FAP: In association with DPP4 is involved in the pericellular proteolysis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the migration and invasion of endothelial cells into the ECM. May have a role in tissue remodeling during development and wound healing, and may contribute to invasiveness in malignant cancers. Belongs to the peptidase S9B family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: EC 3.4.14.5; EC 3.4.21.26; Membrane protein, integral; Protease. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2 C1.3 2 35.85 cM. Cellular Component: apical part of cell; cell junction; cell projection; cell surface; extracellular region; extracellular space; focal adhesion; integral component of membrane; invadopodium membrane; lamellipodium; membrane; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: dipeptidyl-peptidase activity; endopeptidase activity; hydrolase activity; integrin binding; peptidase activity; protease binding; protein homodimerization activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity; serine-type peptidase activity. Biological Process: angiogenesis; apoptosis; cell adhesion; endothelial cell migration; melanocyte apoptotic process; melanocyte proliferation; mitotic cell cycle arrest; negative regulation of extracellular matrix disassembly; positive regulation of cell cycle arrest; positive regulation of execution phase of apoptosis; proteolysis; proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process; regulation of collagen catabolic process
