Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human Angiogenin/ANG recombinant protein (Position: Q25-P147). Human Angiogenin/ANG shares 77.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse Angiogenin/ANG. (reported region: Q25-P147).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 17 kDa; calculated MW: 16550 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Angiogenin; Angiogenin. Angiogenin (Ang), also known as ribonuclease 5, is a small 123 amino acid protein that in humans is encoded by the ANG gene. The protein encoded by this gene is an exceedingly potent mediator of new blood vessel formation. It hydrolyzes cellular tRNAs resulting in decreased protein synthesis and is similar to pancreatic ribonuclease. In addition, the mature peptide has antimicrobial activity against some bacteria and fungi, including S. pneumoniae and C. albicans. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein. This gene and the gene that encodes ribonuclease, RNase A family, 4 share promoters and 5' exons. Each gene splices to a unique downstream exon that contains its complete coding region. Functional note: Binds to actin on the surface of endothelial cells; once bound, angiogenin is endocytosed and translocated to the nucleus. Stimulates ribosomal RNA synthesis including that containing the initiation site sequences of 45S rRNA. Cleaves tRNA within anticodon loops to produce tRNA-derived stress-induced fragments (tiRNAs) which inhibit protein synthesis and triggers the assembly of stress granules (SGs). Angiogenin induces vascularization of normal and malignant tissues. Angiogenic activity is regulated by interaction with RNH1 in vivo. . Reported localization: Nucleus . Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix, basement membrane. Nucleus, nucleolus. Rapidly endocytosed by target cells and translocated to the nucleus where it accumulates in the nucleolus and binds to DNA. Expression/tissue context: Expressed predominantly in the liver. Also detected in endothelial cells and spinal cord neurons. .

Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative ANG (Angiogenin) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of ANG (Angiogenin) across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and shifts in expression; gating strategy and background staining controls are essential.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
