ANTI-REV1 CLONE 1G9 ZOOMAB« RABBIT MONOCLONAL (C15-1669-442)

General description

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.

Target description

DNA repair protein REV1 (UniProt: Q9UBZ9; also known as EC:2.7.7, Alpha integrin-binding protein 80, AIBP80, Rev1-like terminal deoxycytidyl transferase) is encoded by the REV1 (also known as REV1L) gene (Gene ID: 51455) in  human. REV1 is a ubiquitous, monomeric, eukaryotic member of the Y family of DNA polymerases that is involved in the tolerance of DNA damage by translesion DNA synthesis. It serves as a deoxycytidyl transferase that transfers a dCMP residue from dCTP to the 3′-end of a DNA primer in a template-dependent reaction. It is essential for mutagenic bypass of a wide variety of lesions, a function that does not appear to be dependent on its deoxycytidyl transferase activity. REV1 interacts with the DNA polymerase zeta which is composed of REV3L and MAD2L2; and this interaction with MAD2L2 is direct and requires that REV3L is in its closed conformation. It can bind directly to PCNA and monoubiquitylation of PCNA enhances this interaction. This interaction requires a functional BRCT domain (aa 44-131) located near its N-terminus. Three isoforms of REV1 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing.  This ZooMAb^® 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.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.
