Nectin-1, also known as CD111 antigen, Poliovirus receptor-related protein 1(PRR-1) and Herpes virus entry mediator C (HVEC), is a 110kD type I transmembrane glycoprotein. Two additional splice forms (another type I transmembrane protein and a secreted protein) also exist. All three isoforms share the aa residues from (aa31-334). Nectin-1 is widely expressed in numerous tissues. It is a Ca2+-independent cell adhesion molecule that is a member of the Ig superfamily. The aa sequence of the human Nectin-1 extracellular domain is 93% and 96% identical to that of mouse and porcine Nectin-1, respectively. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20C. Aliquots are stable at -20C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Note: Sodium azide is a potent inhibitor of peroxidase and should not be added to HRP conjugates. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
