CAT#: AM26204PU-N

VAP1 (AOC3) mouse monoclonal antibody, clone 174-5, Purified

Product Images

Immunohistochemical analysis of VAP-1 on human tonsil tissue. Staining of frozen tissue section with antibody 174-5. Anti-human VAP-1 staining results in vessels that are VAP-1 positive, whereas morphologically similar vessels next to positive ones can be negative.

Product Data

• Clone Name: 174-5
• Applications: FN, IF, IHC
• Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections: Tissue sections were fixed in acetone before staining with 174-5. As positive control anti-VAP-1 mAb 2D10 was used and as negative control an isotype matched irrelevant mAb. (Ref.1). Typical starting working dilution is 1:50.
  Flow cytometry: Stains Ax cells stably transfected with VAP-1 cDNA.. As negative control mock transfected cells were used.(Ref.1). Typical starting working dilution is 1:50.
  Functional assay: Inhibits lymphocyte infiltration in liver allograft rejection. The antibody was administered intravenously at a concentration of 2 mg/kg. A irrelevant isotype-matched antibody served as a negative control. (Ref.1).

• Background:

  Vascular Adhesion Protein-1 (VAP-1) is a glycosylated homodimeric membrane protein consisting of two 90 kDa subunits connected by disulfide bonds. It contains a short N-terminal cytoplasmic tail, a single membrane-spanning domain and a large extracellular part. A soluble form of VAP-1 (sVAP-1) has been described, which presumably results from the proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound VAP-1. Structurally VAP-1 belongs to enzymes called semicarbamizide-sensitive amine oxidases, which contain copper as a cofactor. These enzymes deaminate primary amines in a reaction producing hydrogen peroxide, aldehyde, and ammonia.
  VAP-1 is present in endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, adipocytes, and in follicular dendritic cells. In endothelial cells the majority of VAP-1 is stored within intracellular granules and translocated to the surface upon inflammation where it regulates leukocyte tissue infiltration. Furthermore, the end-products formed by VAP-1 can also regulate leukocyte migration by signaling effects, have insulin-like effects in energy metabolism, and can cause vascular damage by direct cytotoxicity. Elevated sVAP-1serum levels have been described in several inflammatory diseases as well as colorectal cancer. Moreover, diminished insulin secretion appears to increase the concentration of soluble VAP-1 in plasma. Therefore, VAP-1 might be an interesting diagnostic marker as well therapeutic target for modulating inflammation.
