Anti-EDEM1 antibody,Mouse monoclonal

General description

Monoclonal Anti-EDEM1 (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the hybridoma EDEM1-17 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a fragment of human EDEM1. conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). EDEM1 (ER degradation-enhancing alphamannosidase-like protein 1) is a putative mannose binding lectin. In mammalian cells, EDEM1 is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), mainly as a soluble glycoprotein.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-EDEM1 antibody produced in mouse has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunoprecipitation
• immuno-electron microscopy
• immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Biochem/physiol Actions

EDEM1 (ER degradation-enhancing alphamannosidase-like protein 1) has the ability to interact with the COOH-terminus of calnexin. It lacks mannosidase activity.

ER degradation-enhancing α-mannosidase-like 1 is an enzyme encoded by the EDEM1 gene in humans. It is a chaperone for rod opsin and its expression can be used to promote correct folding enhancing degradation of mutant proteins in the ER to combat protein-misfolding disease. The endogenous EDEM1 in cells that are not stressed by the expression of a transgenic misfolded protein reaches the cytosol and is degraded by basal autophagy. EDEM may maintain the retrotranslocation competence of NHK by inhibiting aggregation. It is also considered responsible for directing aberrant proteins for ERAD (ER-associated protein degradation).
