ADAM 10 (Kuzbanian, KUZ, MADM, a Disintegrin and Metalloprotease 10)
Description:
Tumor-necrosis factor alpha is a proinflammatory cytokine and contributes to a variety of inflammatory disease responses and programmed cell death. Notch receptor and its ligand participate in cell fate decisions during vertebrate development and are associated with several human disorders, including a Tcell lymphoma. TNA-alpha, notch and its ligand delta are all membrane-bond molecules, which are cleaved by proteases to release mature proteins or functional receptor. ADAM10, a metalloprotease-disintegrin in the family of mammalian ADAM (for a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain), was recently identified to cleave TNF-alpha, notch and its ligand delta. The genes encoding human, mouse, and bovine ADAM10 were recently cloned and designated ADAM10, kuzbanian (KUZ), and MADM.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western blot: 1:500 – 1:2,000 dilution. Jurkat whole cell lysate can be used as a positive control and an 85kD band can be detected which may represent precursor. A 60kD faint band was detected in some cell lines including Jurkat, appearing to be the processed mature protein.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Immunogen:
Raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 732–748 of human ADAM10. This sequence is identical to those of bovine and rat origins and differs from that of mouse ADAM10 by one amino acid.
Purity:
Purified immunoglobulin
Form
Supplied as a liquid in PBS, 0.02% sodium azide.
Specificity:
ADAM 10 mRNA is expressed in a variety of human and bovine tissues. Species crossreactivity: Human, mouse, rat and bovine.
Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
