Target description

Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM20 homolog (UniProt: Q15388; also known as Mitochondrial 20 kDa outer membrane protein, Outer mitochondrial membrane receptor Tom20) is encoded by the TOMM20 (also known as KIAA0016) gene (Gene ID: 9804) in human. TOMM20 is a single-pass mitochondrial outer protein that is a component of the receptor complex responsible for the recognition and translocation of nuclear-encoded and cytosolically synthesized mitochondrial preproteins. Together with TOM22 it functions as the transit peptide receptor at the surface of the mitochondrion outer membrane and facilitates the movement of preproteins into the TOM40 translocation pore. Overexpression of TOMM20 has been reported tin various cancers and its expression is correlated with increased mitochondrial mass. Suppression of TOMM20 is shown to reduce proliferation, migration, and invasion in colorectal cancer cells and cause S-phase arrest and apoptosis. 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 mouse 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

30 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.
