Description

ANPEP, also known as CD13 or Aminopeptidase N, is a zinc-dependent metalloprotease that plays diverse roles in cellular processes ranging from peptide metabolism to signal transduction. Expressed prominently on myeloid cells, epithelial cells, and certain stem cell populations, this membrane-bound glycoprotein serves as a valuable marker in immunology research and stem cell biology. Its involvement in tumor angiogenesis, viral entry mechanisms, and immune cell function makes it a compelling target for investigators exploring these interconnected pathways.

This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 6E9, offers the reproducibility that demanding research protocols require. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human CD13, the antibody is produced using recombinant technology, ensuring sequence-defined consistency between lots. This eliminates the variability often encountered with traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, allowing you to confidently compare results across extended studies or collaborative projects.

Validation testing demonstrates reliable performance in immunohistochemistry applications on human tissues. At a 1:100 dilution, the antibody successfully detected ANPEP in paraffin-embedded human liver and kidney sections using a standard citrate buffer antigen retrieval protocol and HRP-polymer detection system. These tissues represent physiologically relevant contexts where ANPEP expression is well-documented, providing confidence in the antibody's specificity. The recommended working range of 1:50 to 1:200 for IHC gives you flexibility to optimize staining intensity for your specific tissue preparations.

Supplied in a glycerol-containing buffer for stability, this affinity-purified rabbit IgG antibody is well-suited for researchers investigating myeloid cell biology, stem cell characterization, or tissue-specific aminopeptidase expression patterns in human samples.

Target Background

Function

Broad specificity aminopeptidase which plays a role in the final digestion of peptides generated from hydrolysis of proteins by gastric and pancreatic proteases. Also involved in the processing of various peptides including peptide hormones, such as angiotensin III and IV, neuropeptides, and chemokines. May also be involved the cleavage of peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex class II molecules of antigen presenting cells. May have a role in angiogenesis and promote cholesterol crystallization. May have a role in amino acid transport by acting as binding partner of amino acid transporter SLC6A19 and regulating its activity.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for human coronavirus 229E/HCoV-229E. In case of human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E) infection, serves as receptor for HCoV-229E spike glycoprotein.; (Microbial infection) Mediates as well Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection.
