PTEN Antibody

SKU: orb1826249

Description

PTEN (phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase) contains a tensin like domain as well as a catalytic domain similar to that of the dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases. It was identified as a tumor suppressor that is mutated in a large number of cancers, including sporadic brain, breast, kidney, and prostate cancers.

Analysis of a HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19000 full-length human proteins using PTEN antibody (clone PTEN/2159). 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.

SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free PTEN antibody (clone PTEN/2159) as confirmation of integrity and purity.
