uniprot entry name :
SEPR_HUMAN
specificity :
This item detects fibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP alpha), a type II membrane protein belonging to the serine protease family. FAP alpha is upregulated on activated fibroblasts in response to wounding, and may also be involved in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development and tissue repair. Active FAP alpha is a 170kD homodimeric protein which can also exist as a soluble form. FAP alpha can also form heterodimeric complexes with CD26 (DPP4), and these proteins may function co-ordinately to modulate the growth, differentiation, adhesion and metastasis of tumour cells.
form :
Purified. Purified IgG - liquid
concentration :
IgG concentration 0.5 mg/ml
storage stability :
Store at 4 degree C or at -20 degree C if preferred. Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use. Shelf Life: 18 months from date of despatch.
tested application :
Immunohistology Paraffin*

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene is a homodimeric integral membrane gelatinase belonging to the serine protease family. It is selectively expressed in reactive stromal fibroblasts of epithelial cancers, granulation tissue of healing wounds, and malignant cells of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. This protein is thought to be involved in the control of fibroblast growth or epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, tissue repair, and epithelial carcinogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2014]
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 3.4.21.26; EC 3.4.14.5; Protease; Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q23. Cellular Component: extracellular space; cell surface; focal adhesion; lamellipodium; apical part of cell; cytoplasm; plasma membrane; integral to membrane. Molecular Function: protein dimerization activity; peptidase activity; integrin binding; protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; protease binding; dipeptidyl-peptidase activity; serine-type peptidase activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity; metalloendopeptidase activity; endopeptidase activity. Biological Process: proteolysis involved in cellular protein catabolic process; endothelial cell migration; angiogenesis; proteolysis; cell adhesion; regulation of fibrinolysis
