Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)
Specificity / Sensitivity
APOBEC3A (UMN-13) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total APOBEC3A protein. This antibody does not cross-react with APOBEC3B or APOBEC3G proteins. This antibody detects a 40 kDa protein of unknown identity in some tissues.
Species Reactivity: Human
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminus of human APOBEC3A protein.
Background
Members of the APOBEC3 subfamily of cytosine deaminases (APOBEC3A, APOBEC3B, APOBEC3C, APOBEC3D, APOBEC3F, APOBEC3G, and APOBEC3H) function in innate immunity by preventing viral DNA replication, including that of HIV-1 (1-2). APOBEC3A expression is upregulated in several human cancers, and is a major source of mutation in breast cancer (3). APOBEC3A contributes to chromosomal instability and disease progression in pancreatic cancer (4), and upregulates PD-L1 expression in cancer cells (5).
