ZooMAb antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Each ZooMAb antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Specificity

Clone 5C15 is a ZooMAb^® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (MLL/HRX). It targets an epitope within 21 amino acids from the MLL cleavage product C180 region.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 21 amino acids from the p180 C-terminal subunit of human Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (MLL/HRX).

Application

Quality Control Testing

Evaluated by Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) in human kidney tissue sections.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution of this antibody detected MLL/HRX in human kidney tissue sections.

Tested Applications

Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound MLL peptides with a KD of 1.2 x 10-6 in an affinity binding assay.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from representative lot detected MLL/HRX CT in HeLa and A431 cells.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user

Anti-MLL/HRX CT, clone 5C15 ZooMAb^®, Cat. No. ZRB1061, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically targets MLL/HRX and is tested for use in Affinity Binding Assay, Immunocytochemistry, and Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin).

Target description

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A (UniProt: Q03164; also known as EC:2.1.1.354, Lysine N-methyltransferase 2A, ALL-1, CXXC-type zinc finger protein 7, Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia, Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia protein 1, MLL, Trithorax-like protein, Zinc finger protein HRX) is encoded by the KMT2A (also known as ALL1, CXXC7, HRX, HTRX, MLL, MLL1, TRX1) gene (Gene ID: 4297) in human. MLL is a histone methyltransferase that plays an essential role in early development and hematopoiesis. It is expressed in heart, lung, brain, and in T and B lymphocytes. Catalytic subunit of the MLL complex mediates both methylation of lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4me) complex and acetylation of lysine 16 of histone H4 (H4K16ac). By itself it has weak methyltransferase activity and requires another component of the MLL complex to obtain full methyltransferase activity. MLL does not display any activity towards histone H3 phosphorylated on threonine 3 and has less activity towards histone H3 dimethylated on arginine 8 and lysine 9. However, it displays high activity towards histone H3 acetylated on lysine 9. MLL is normally cleaved into a N-terminal p320 and a C-terminal p180 cleavage product. This cleavage is brought about by taspase 1 (TASP1) at cleavage site 1 (aa 2666-2667) and cleavage site 2 (aa 2718-2719). The p320 and p180 units can heterodimerize via SET and FYRC domains. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
