Neuropilin-1 Antibody

SKU: orb1826345

Description

Neuropilin is a type I transmembrane receptor that has been implicated in aspects of axon growth and guidance and has been shown to act as a high affinity receptor for class III semaphorins and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). A closely related protein, neuropilin-2, shares a common domain structure and signifcant homology with neuropilin and also acts as a receptor for the class III semaphorins and VEGF. Both neuropilins are involved in regulating many physiological pathways including axonal guidance and angiogenesis, however they exhibit differential expression in the adult vasculature. Neuropilin-2 is polysialylated and expressed on the surface of dendritic cells. It is also expressed by venous and lymphatic endothelium. Neuropilin is expressed predominantly by arterial endothelium.

IHC staining of FFPE human kidney tissue with NRP1 / Neuropilin-1 antibody (clone NRP1/4620). Inset: PBS used in place of primary Ab (secondary Ab negative control). HIER: boil tissue sections in pH9 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA for 20 min and allow to cool before testing.

Analysis of a HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19000 full-length human proteins using NRP1 / Neuropilin-1 Monoclonal antibody (clone NRP1/4620). Z- and S- Score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that a monoclonal antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary antibody) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If targets on HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-score. S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of a mAb to its intended target. A mAb is considered to specific to its intended target, if the mAb has an S-score of at least 2.5. For example, if a mAb binds to protein X with a Z-score of 43 and to protein Y with a Z-score of 14, then the S-score for the binding of that mAb to protein X is equal to 29.
