Background: PLA2G4A (Phospholipase A2, Group IVA), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PLA2G4A gene. Tay et al. (1995) mapped the PLA2G4A gene to rat chromosome 13 by PCR-based intercross genotyping and to human 1q25 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. By site-ed mutagenesis and biochemical analysis of the recombinant protein, Sharp et al. (1994) determined that ser228 participates in the catalytic mechanism of cPLA2 and that both the phospholipase A2 and the lysophospholipase activities are catalyzed by the same active site residue (s). PLA2G4A, the cytosolic phospholipase A2, appears to subserve transmembrane signaling responses to extracellular ligands (Skorecki, 1995).

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human PLA2G4A, different from the related rat and mouse sequences by one amino acid.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains antibody formulated with stabilizing components, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3.
*This antibody is supplied in a stabilized formulation. Compatibility with conjugation reactions depends on the chemistry of the conjugation method used. For conjugation methods that are not compatible with the stabilizing components present in this formulation, a carrier-free antibody format is required.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
