Product Name :
METAP2 polyclonal antibody Background :
Methionine aminopeptidases (MetAP), also designated peptidase M proteins, are members of the M24 family of proteins. Both MetAP-1 and MetAP-2 release N-terminal amino acids, usually methionine, from nascent peptides and arylamines. Eukaryotes contain both MetAP-1 and MetAP-2, whereas prokaryotes possess only the MetAP-1 enzyme. MetAP-1 and MetAP-2 control cell proliferation in mammalian cells. MetAP-2 is highly conserved between human and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Neurofibromin (NF1) regulates MetAp-2 and increased expression of MetAP-2 correlates with several forms of cancer. Inhibitors of MetAP-2 are potential targets in cancer therapeutics, particularly in NF1-associated tumor proliferation. Chemotherapeutic drugs such as ovalicin and fumagillin bind to the active site of and inhibit MetAp-2. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
