Background

Pappalysin-1, also known as DIPLA1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PAPPA gene. It is mapped to 9q33.1. PAPPA is found in the ovarian follicles, follicular fluid, luteal cells, and fallopian tubes of nonpregnant women and in the seminal vesicles and seminal fluid of males. This gene encodes a secreted metalloproteinase which cleaves insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs). It is thought to be involved in local proliferative processes such as wound healing and bone remodeling. Low plasma level of this protein has been suggested as a biochemical marker for pregnancies with aneuploid fetuses. It has been found that circulating PAPPA is a disulfide-bridged complex with proMBP in which the subunits of the constituents are present in a 1:1 molar ratio.

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins

Immunogen

E.coli-derived human PAPP A recombinant protein (Position: R95-Q388). Human PAPP A shares 88% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse PAPP A.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

High levels in placenta and pregnancy serum. In placenta, expressed in X cells in septa and anchoring villi, and in syncytiotrophoblasts in the chorionic villi. Lower levels are found in a variety of other tissues including kidney, myometrium, endometrium, ovaries, breast, prostate, bone marrow, colon, fibroblasts and osteoblasts. .

Applications

IHC,WB

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Metalloproteinase which specifically cleaves IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5, resulting in release of bound IGF. Cleavage of IGFBP-4 is dramatically enhanced by the presence of IGF, whereas cleavage of IGFBP-5 is slightly inhibited by the presence of IGF. .

Storage Conditions

Store at -20℃ for one year from date of receipt. After reconstitution, at 4℃ for one month. It can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20℃ for six months. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Fragment
