    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    This product is the carrier free version of product #45850. 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 #45850

    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

    Fibrinogen gamma chain (E1U3Z) XP® Rabbit mAb (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total fibrinogen gamma chain protein. This antibody may cross-react with an unidentified protein of 70 kDa in some cell extracts.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser190 of human fibrinogen gamma chain protein.

    Background

    Fibrinogen is a large, multimeric plasma glycoprotein that is constitutively synthesized by liver hepatocytes. As a key component of blood clots, fibrinogen plays a central role in hemostasis and thrombosis. In total, six polypeptide chains (2Aα, 2Bβ, and 2γ) are produced intracellularly in a coordinated manner, which are then covalently linked together by a network of disulfide bonds to form a fibrinogen heterohexamer (1). Research studies have shown that expression of the three fibrinogen genes is upregulated as part of the acute phase inflammatory response (2,3).

    Upon engagement of the clotting cascade, thrombin-mediated cleavage of the fibrinogen Aα and Bβ chains creates fibrin monomers and a platform for the polymerization of fibrin monomers into protofibrils and an insoluble web of stable fibrin fibers (4,5). Whereas thrombin is the enzyme that drives fibrin polymerization and clot formation, plasmin is the enzymatic counterpart that facilitates fibrinolysis and clot breakdown (6).

    In addition to its position as a central node in the normal coagulation cascade, dysregulated fibrin deposition has been observed in pathological conditions such as cancer and viral infection (7,8).
    The fibrinogen gamma chain is expressed as two isoforms that result from alternative mRNA splicing, the γA chain and the γ' chain. Research studies have shown that the fibrinogen gamma chain plays important roles in shaping the architecture of fibrin clots and modulates the innate immune response through interaction with its receptor, CD11b, expressed on neutrophils and monocytes (9,10).
