Product Specific Information

Store vial at -20°C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20°C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature.
This product is stable for several weeks at 4°C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Anti-L1/ORF2 Antibody is directed against three regions within the endonuclease domain of L1 ORF2 protein. Reactivity occurs against mouse L1/ORF2 protein and is useful in determining its presence in various assays.
A BLAST analysis shows reactivity with L1/ORF2 proteins from mouse sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequences. Cross-reactivity against L1/ORF2 from other sources is unknown.

Target Information

The L1 (LINE-1), or Long INterspersed Element, retrotransposon ORF2 is the most common open reading frame in the human genome, present in various forms in many thousands of copies.
This large family of proteins includes magnesium-dependent endonucleases and a large number of phosphatases involved in intracellular signaling.
Both intact ORF1 and ORF2 are absolutely required for autonomous retro-transposition. ORF2 encodes endonuclease, reverse transcriptase, and zinc knuckle domains.
Expression of ORF2 appears to be tightly regulated except in germ line tissues, embryonic tissues, and certain cancers including teratomas, testicular cancers, and leukemias.
This antibody is intended for use in studying control of L1 retrotransposons.
