Background: Proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor- (TNF- ) contributes to a variety of inflammatory responses and programmed cell death. Notch receptor and its ligand participate in cell fate decisions during vertebrate development and are associated with several human disorders, including a T-cell lymphoma. TNF- , notch and its ligand delta are all membrane-bond molecules, which are cleaved by proteases to release mature proteins or functional receptor. ADAM10, a metalloprotease-disintegrin in the family of mammalian ADAM (for a disintegrin and metalloprotease), was recently identified to cleave TNF- , notch and its ligand delta (1-3). The genes encoding human, mouse, and bovine ADAM10 were recently cloned and designated ADAM 10, kuzbanian (KUZ), and MADM, respectively, (1,2,4). ADAM10 mRNA is expressed in a variety of human and bovine tissues (1,4).
Positive Control: Jurkat whole cell lysate.
Immunogen: Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 732 to 748 off the human ADAM10. Immungen sequence is identical in bovine and rat and differs from the mouse protein by one amino acid.
Purification Method: Antigen Immunoaffiinity Purification.
Formulation: Provided in phosphate buffered saline solution containing 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative.
