Product Information

Product Usage Information

This product is the carrier free version of product #76730. 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.

Formulation

Supplied in 1X PBS, BSA and Azide Free.

For standard formulation of this product see product #76730

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

TACSTD2/TROP2 (F4W4J) Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total TACSTD2/TROP2 protein.

Species Reactivity:

Human

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the extracellular domain of human TACSTD2/TROP2 protein. The antigen has been further characterized as corresponding to residues surrounding Ile219 of human TACSTD2/TROP2 protein.

Background

TROP2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by gene TACSTD2 (tumor associated calcium signal transducer 2). TROP2 was first discovered as a biomarker of invasive trophoblast cells and later reported in many types of cancer cells as well as in various organs during development, and adult stem cells during homeostasis (1,2). TROP2 has an extracellular domain with EGF thyroglobulin type-1 repeats, a transmembrane domain, and a short cytoplasmic tail with a HIKE domain containing a PIP2 binding site and PKC phosphorylation site (Ser303) (1-4). TROP2 functions by regulating multiple signaling pathways including interaction of extracellular domain with integrin beta1 to regulate FAK signaling, association of its transmembrane domain with Claudin-1 and Claudin-7 for tight junction formation, as well as regulation of intracellular calcium release by its PIP2 binding and activation of the ERK/MAPK pathway (1,2,5-8). All of these functions are important for its role in tumor proliferation, metastasis, and invasion (1,2). PKC can phosphorylate TROP2 at Ser303; the phosphorylation changes the cytoplasmic tail conformation and further promotes its signaling (9). TROP2 can be activated through intramembrane proteolysis first by TACE, followed by further cleavage by Presenilin 1 and Presenilin 2. The proteolysis process is required for its role in tumor cell proliferation (10,11).
