Description
Product Usage Information
Western Blotting: 1:1000
Storage
Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at -20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.
Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
Angiomotin (E3E7X) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of angiomotin isoform 1 (full-length) protein. This antibody does not recognize the amino-terminally truncated angiomotin isoform 2 protein. This antibody cross-reacts with the angiomotin family members, angiomotin-like 1 (AMOTL1) and angiomotin-like 2 (AMOTL2).
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the amino terminus of human angiomotin protein.
Background
Angiomotin (AMOT) is a widely expressed cell junction protein initially identified through its ability to bind angiostatin. Alternative splicing results in two isoforms of angiomotin, the full-length p130 and the amino-terminally truncated p80. These isoforms, along with angiomotin-like 1 (AMOTL1) and angiomotin-like 2 (AMOTL2), comprise the Motin protein family. Angiomotin is important in endothelial cell polarity, migration, and blood vessel formation during development, as well as in signaling through small GTPases and the Hippo/YAP pathway (reviewed in 1). Research studies have shown that angiomotin expression regulates migration and proliferation of breast cancer cells (2,3).
Alternate Names
AMOT; Angiomotin; angiomotin p130 isoform; angiomotin p80 isoform; KIAA1071
