Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived rat CCL2 recombinant protein (Position: Q24-R96). (reported region: Q24-R96).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 11 kDa; calculated MW: 25283 MW
- Reactivity: Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, 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
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6; C-C motif chemokine ligand 2. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a member of the chemokine (chemotactic cytokine) family, is a potent monocyte agonist that is upregulated by oxidized lipids. MCP-1 is also known as CCL2, SCYA2, MCAF. MCAF is a member of family of factors involved in immune and inflammatory responses. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence reveals the primary structure of the MCAF precursor to be composed of a putative signal peptide sequence of 23 amino acid residues and a mature MCAF sequence of 76 amino acid residues. MCP-1 plays a unique and crucial role in the initiation of atherosclerosis and may provide a new therapeutic target in this disorder. Human MCP-1 is a 8.7KDa non-glycoprotein, consisting of 99 amino acids in precursor form and 76 amino acids in mature form. Functional note: Chemotactic factor that attracts monocytes, but not neutrophils. Reported localization: Secreted. Expression/tissue context: Detected in various tissues including thymus, liver, lung, heart, and adult ovary.
Research relevance and current trends
- Angiogenesis: Researchers commonly examine how Ccl2 (Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6) relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.

Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative Ccl2 (Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6) levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- 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.
