Applications for Human Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2 Antibody

Application

Recommended Usage

Immunoprecipitation

25 µg/mL
Sample: Conditioned cell culture medium spiked with Recombinant Human Carboxypeptidase A2/
CPA2 (Catalog # 2896-ZN), see our available Western blot detection antibodies

Western Blot

1 µg/mL
Sample: Recombinant Human Carboxypeptidase A2 (Catalog # 2896-ZN)

Neutralization

Measured by its ability to neutralize Recombinant Human Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2 (0.1 µg/mL, Catalog # 2896‑ZN) cleavage of the fluorogenic peptide substrate N-acetyl-Phe-Thiaphe-OH (0.1 mM). The Neutralization Dose (ND₅₀) is typically 1.5 µg/mL.

Formulation, Preparation, and Storage

Purification

Protein A or G purified from hybridoma culture supernatant

Reconstitution

Reconstitute at 0.5 mg/mL in sterile PBS. For liquid material, refer to CoA for concentration.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with Trehalose. *Small pack size (SP) is supplied either lyophilized or as a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS.

Shipping

Lyophilized product is shipped at ambient temperature. Liquid small pack size (-SP) is shipped with polar packs. Upon receipt, store immediately at the temperature recommended below.

Stability & Storage

Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

1 month, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
6 months, -20 to -70 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.

Background: Carboxypeptidase A2/CPA2

Carboxypeptidase A2 encoded by the CPA2 gene cleaves the C-terminal amide or ester bond of peptides that have a free C-terminal carboxyl group (1). It prefers the C-terminal residues with aromatic side chains including Phe, Tyr, and Trp. The deduced amino acid sequence of human CPA2 consists of a signal peptide (residues 1 to 16), a pro region (residues 17 to 112), and a mature chain (residues 113 to 417).
