This antibody was produced from a hybridoma (mouse myeloma fused with spleen cells from a rat) immunized with human recombinant protein of Semaphorin 3C
Antigen:
recombinant human Semaphorin 3C
Stability:
Lyophilized samples are stable for 2 years from date of receipt when stored at -70°C. Reconstituted antibody can be aliquoted and stored frozen at < -20 °C for at least for six months without detectable loss of activity.
Reconstitution:
Reconstitute the antibody with 500 µl sterile PBS and the final concentration is 200 µg/ml.
Description:
Semaphorins are a large group of structurally related secreted, GPI-anchored and transmembrane cell signaling molecules. There are 8 major classifications (1-7) of Semaphorins characterized by the existence of a conserved 500 amino acid SEMA domain at the amino terminus. Classes 3,4,6, and 7 are found in vertebrates only, whilst class 5 is found in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Each class is then divided into additional subgroups based on shared structural characteristics. Semaphorins primarily function as axon growth cone guidance factors during neuronal development. Semaphorin 3A acts as a chemo-repellent to axons, and an inhibitor of the growth of axons by signaling through receptors, Neuropilin-1and Plexin-A. Recombinant human Semaphorin 3A is a 751 amino acid protein containing the SEMA domain, an immunoglobulin c2-like domain and a basic domain (Arg/Lys rich) near the C-terminus.
