Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody to Detect a Pro-peptide Fragment of NSAID-activated Gene (NAG-1)/GDF15, a Protein Associated with Cancer
The protein product of NAG-1 is first formed into an immature peptide dimer that must be cut at a specific site before it can be secreted as a mature protein. Currently available antibodies can only detect either the immature form of NAG-1 or the secreted mature protein, but do not recognize the peptide fragment that remains when the immature dimer is cut to form the mature protein. Now available for the first time, the present new antibody recognizes this NAG-1 pro-peptide fragment.
- As a research tool to detect expression of the NAG-1/GDF15 cleavage fragment in cells and media from cultured cells.
- No other antibody is currently available to detect the NAG-1/GDF15 pro-peptide fragment.
