Background: ADAMDEC1 is expressed in the immune system, by dendritic cells and macrophages. It may play an important role in the control of the immune response and during pregnancy.1 Due to the partial lack of a disintegrin domain and the total lack of a cysteine-rich domain, this protein has been placed in a novel subclass of the ADAM gene family2.
Positive Control: Expressed highly in the small intestine and appendix, moderately in lymph node, mucosal lining of the colon, thymus, spleen and very weakly in the bone marrow. Predominantly expressed in dendritic cells (DC) of the germinal center. Weakly expressed in monocyte and highly expressed in macrophage. Absent in immature DC.
Immunogen: Synthetic peptide derived from the human ADAMDEC1 protein.
Purification Method: Antigen Immunoaffiinity Purification
Concentration: See vial for concentration
Formulation: Provided as solution in phosphate buffered saline with 0.08% sodium azide
