Product Information

Product Usage Information

Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

GARP/LRRC32 (E2L6B) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total GARP/LRRC32 protein. This antibody cross-reacts with an unidentified protein of 32 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 Ala292 of human GARP/LRRC32 protein.

Background

Leucine-rich repeat containing 32 (LRRC32), also known as glycoprotein A repetitions predominant (GARP), is a key regulator of the TGF-beta family (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3), and is primarily expressed on the surface of mesenchymal stromal cells, hepatic stellate cells, platelets, and regulatory T cells (Tregs) (1). GARP/LRRC32 enhances the suppressive function of Tregs and decreases the expression of inflammatory cytokines, IL-2, and IFNγ (2,3). GARP/LRRC32 associates via disulfide bonds with the latency-associated peptide (LAP), the regulatory chain of TGF-β, to induce integrin-dependent activation of TGF-β and secretion (1, 3-5), thereby promoting Treg function and homeostasis. As a result, targeting GARP/LRRC32 in combination with other molecules for depleting Tregs or attenuating their suppressive activity represents an opportunity for cancer immunotherapy (6,7).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
