Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (61%), Rat (61%).
This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-52951. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Alpha-2-glycoprotein 1, zinc-binding (AZGP1) is a gene encoding a protein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. This protein is abundant in various body fluids, such as blood plasma and milk, and is involved in lipid mobilization. AZGP1 is expressed in numerous tissues, including the liver, prostate, and adipose tissue, where it plays a significant role in the regulation of lipid metabolism and adipocyte function. It acts as an adipokine, influencing the breakdown and mobilization of fats, thereby contributing to energy homeostasis. In cancer research, AZGP1 has been highlighted for its potential as a prognostic biomarker, particularly in prostate and breast cancer, where lower expression levels are often associated with poor prognosis. Recent studies have also linked AZGP1 to cachexia, an extreme form of weight loss and muscle wasting, by promoting lipid mobilization in adipose tissue and influencing systemic catabolic states. Due to its multifaceted roles in lipid metabolism and disease processes, AZGP1 is considered a promising target for therapeutic interventions in metabolic and cancer-related disorders.
