ZooMAb antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Each ZooMAb antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Clone E6-6 is a ZooMAb^® mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Bestrophin-1. It targets an epitope within 18 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 18 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Bestrophin-1.

Bestrophin-1 (UniProt: O76090; also known as TU15B, Vitelliform macular dystrophy protein 2) is encoded by the BEST1 (also known as VMD2) gene (Gene ID: 7439) in human. Bestrophin-1 is a multi-pass, homopentameric membrane protein that contains three cytoplasmic domains, three extracellular domains, and four transmembrane domains. It is predominantly expressed in the basolateral membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium. However, its expression has also been reported in cortical and hippocampal astrocytes and in cerebellar Bergmann glia and lamellar astrocytes. It serves as a calcium-activated anion channel and its calcium-binding clasp consists of the acidic cluster of amino acids Glu300, Asp301, Asp302, Asp303, and Asp4304). Under physiological conditions, Bestrophin-1 is also involved in glutamate and GABA release from astrocytes to modulate neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission, and synaptic plasticity. Mutations in BEST1 gene have been linked to various macular dystrophies and retinitis pigmentosa that is characterized by retinal pigment deposits and primary loss of photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8℃; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8℃, or -20℃ for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
