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

Target description

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase NEDD4 (UniProt: P46934; also known as EC:2.3.2.26, Cell proliferation-inducing gene 53 protein, HECT-type E3 ubiquitin transferase NEDD4, Neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 4, NEDD-4) is encoded by the NEDD4 (also known as KIAA0093, NEDD4-1, PIG53) gene (Gene ID: 4734) in human. NEDD4 is a peripheral membrane protein that is recruited to the plasma membrane by GRB10. Once complexed with GRB10 and IGF1R, it follows IGF1R internalization and remains associated with early endosomes. NEDD4 can accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfer the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. It is shown to specifically ubiquitinate Lysine 63 in target proteins. It also monoubiquitinates IGF1R at multiple sites, thus leading to receptor internalization and degradation in lysosomes. NEDD4 is reported to polyubiquitinate the epithelial sodium channel and any mutations that disrupt association between NEDD4 and sodium channel can lead to Liddle s syndrome, a hyperaldosteronism-like hypertension disease. NEDD4 can interact with viral proteins that contain a late-budding motif P-P-P-Y and this interaction is believed to be essential for viral particle budding of many retroviruses, like HTLV-1 Gag, and MLV Gag. NEDD4 contains four WW domains (WW 1-4; aa 610-643; 767-800; 840-873; and 892-925) and one HECT domain (aa 984-1318). The WW domains mediate its interaction with PPxY motif-containing proteins. This ZooMAbZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
