Full length recombinant corresponding to aa18-202 from human ORM1 (AAH26238) with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26kD.
a1-Acid Glycoprotein (AGP, also OMD/Orosomucoid) is a 40-46kD member of the immunocalin subfamily, lipocalin family of molecules. In mouse, circulating AGP is principally the product of hepatocytes that originates from multiple related genes (AGP-1, -2 and -3 in Mus musculus). Circulating AGP-1 and -2 are both 189aa in length, the principal sources of protein, and show 83% aa identity, AGP-3 contributes little to the AGP pool. In mouse blood, AGP is normally 200-400ug/ml. In response to inflammatory mediators (IL-6, IL-1), its concentration will rise 2-10 fold. More importantly, a complex glycosylation pattern will also change, transitioning from modestly branched to highly branched oligosaccharides. This change is reflected in its bioactivity, which has been shown to be a function of carbohydrate branching. AGP is generally considered to be a suppressor of inflammation. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin fixed paraffin embedded): 1ug/ml 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.
