Extra Details:: b-amyloid (Ab) deposition in the brain is the hallmark of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). To initiate Ab formation, b-secretase cleaves APP at the N-terminus of Ab to release APPsb (~100kD soluble NT-fragment), and C99, a 12kD CT membrane fragment. Alternatively, a-secretase cleaves within the Ab to prevent the formation of Ab. Cleavage by a-secretase produces a soluble Nterminal fragment, APPsa, and a 10kD membrane C-terminal fragment, C83. Both C99 and C83 can be further cleaved by gsecretase releasing Ab and a nonpathogenic p3 peptide, respectively. Recently TACE, a member of the ADAM family (A Disintegrin And Metalloprotease family) protease has been shown to play a central role in a regulated cleavage of human APP. Inhibition of TACE affects both APP secretion and Ab formation in cultured cells. Membrane-bound TNF-a, like APP, is transmembrane protein that can undergo TACE-mediated proteolysis to release the extracellular domain as soluble TNF-a. TACE contain an autoinhibitory domain that must be removed for activity, a proteolytic domain, a disintegrin domain, a cysteine-rich domain, and a Transmembrane domain. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Flow Cytometry. Though not tested, Western Blot may potentially be used as an application. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: ELISA: 1:10,000-1:100,000 Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1ug/10e6 cells (blood lymphocytes or THP-1 cells). Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
