Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human Ceruloplasmin recombinant protein (Position: K20-M259). Human Ceruloplasmin shares 80.8% and 79.6% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Ceruloplasmin, respectively. (reported region: K20-M259).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 122 kDa; calculated MW: 122205 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, 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
Ceruloplasmin; Ceruloplasmin. Ceruloplasmin (or caeruloplasmin) is a ferroxidase enzyme that in humans is encoded by the CP gene. It is mapped to 3q23-q25. The protein encoded by this gene is a metalloprotein that binds most of the copper in plasma and is involved in the peroxidation of Fe (II)transferrin to Fe (III) transferrin. Mutations in this gene cause aceruloplasminemia, which results in iron accumulation and tissue damage, and is associated with diabetes and neurologic abnormalities. Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other not protein-coding, have been found for this gene. Functional note: Ceruloplasmin is a blue, copper-binding (6-7 atoms per molecule) glycoprotein. It has ferroxidase activity oxidizing Fe (2+) to Fe (3+) without releasing radical oxygen species. It is involved in iron transport across the cell membrane. Provides Cu (2+) ions for the ascorbate-mediated deaminase degradation of the heparan sulfate chains of GPC1. May also play a role in fetal lung development or pulmonary antioxidant defense (By similarity). . Reported localization: Secreted. Colocalizes with GCP1 in secretory intracellular compartments. . Expression/tissue context: Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.
