Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived human VNN1 recombinant protein (Position: Q22-K192). Human VNN1 shares 82.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse VNN1. (reported region: Q22-K192).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 57 kDa; calculated MW: 57012 MW
- Reactivity: Human
- Applications: 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
Pantetheinase; Pantetheinase. Pantetheinase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the VNN1 gene. This gene encodes a member of the vanin family of proteins, which share extensive sequence similarity with each other, and also with biotinidase. The family includes secreted and membrane-associated proteins, a few of which have been reported to participate in hematopoietic cell trafficking. No biotinidase activity has been demonstrated for any of the vanin proteins, however, they possess pantetheinase activity, which may play a role in oxidative-stress response. This protein, like its mouse homolog, is likely a GPI-anchored cell surface molecule. The mouse protein is expressed by the perivascular thymic stromal cells and regulates migration of T-cell progenitors to the thymus. This gene lies in close proximity to, and in the same transcriptional orientation as, two other vanin genes on chromosome 6q23-q24. Functional note: Amidohydrolase that hydrolyzes specifically one of the carboamide linkages in D-pantetheine thus recycling pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and releasing cysteamine. . Reported localization: Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor . Expression/tissue context: Widely expressed with higher expression in spleen, kidney and blood. Overexpressed in lesional psoriatic skin. .
