    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #70720. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol.

    This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

    BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity.

    Formulation

    Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na2HPO4, 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH2PO4, and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free.

    For standard formulation of this product see product #70720

    Storage

    Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance.

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    ASS1 (D4O4B) XP® Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total ASS1 protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Glu401 of human ASS1 protein.

    Background

    Argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS1) catalyzes the formation of argininosuccinate from citrulline and aspartate, the rate-limiting step in the urea cycle that is responsible for the synthesis of arginine and the clearance of nitrogenous waste (1). ASS1 is ubiquitously and differentially expressed in different cell types and tissues. Mutations in ASS1 are associated with citrullinemia type I, an autosomal recessive disease characterized primarily by elevated serum and urine citrulline levels in human patients (2, 3).

    Loss of ASS1 expression is one of the common metabolic alterations observed in many cancers, and it is a prognostic biomarker of reduced metastasis-free survival. ASS1 deficiency leads to the dependence of extracellular arginine for survival, proliferation, and cell growth. Ariginine starvation induces autophagy and apoptosis in ASS1 deficient cells and this has been exploited as a therapeutic intervention for the tumors with loss of ASS1 expression (4, 5). Pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG20), an enzyme that degrades arginine into citrulline, causes significant growth inhibition in tumors that have lost ASS1 expression, such as hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, and sarcoma (6-8).
