TYMS antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6940818

Product Details anti-TYMS Antibody

Target: TYMS (Thymidylate Synthetase (TYMS))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This TYMS antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunostaining (ISt), Radioimmunoassay (RIA), Staining Methods (StM)

Specificity: It recognizes a protein of 36 kDa, identified as Thymidylate Synthase (TS) (EC 2.1.1.45). TS converts deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) to deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which is essential for DNA biosynthesis. TS is also a critical target for the fluoropyrimidines, an important group of antineoplastic drugs that are widely used in the treatment of solid tumors. Both 5-FU and fluorodeoxyuridine are converted in tumor cells to FdUMP which inactivates TS by formation of a ternary covalent complex in the presence of the folate cofactor 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate. Expression of TS protein is associated with response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) in human colorectal, gastric, head and neck, and breast carcinomas.

Purification: Purified by Protein A/G

Application Details

Application Notes:

Positive Control: 5-FU-resistant colon carcinoma cell lines (NCI H630R10, NCI H630R1), 5-FU-resistant breast cancer cell lines, MCF-Ad5 and MCF-Ad10. Testicular carcinomas.

Known Application: Flow Cytometry (0.5-1 μg/million cells), Immunofluorescence (0.5-1 μg/mL), ,Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (1-2 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT),(Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes),Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
