At least two isoforms of SPATA1 are known to exist, this antibody will detect only the longest isoforms. SPATA1 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other SPATA family members.
Purification
SPATA1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
SPATA1 antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human SPATA1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 300 - 350 of SPATA1.

SPATA1 Antibody: SPATA1, a novel cell-surface protein, is involved in shaping the sperm head during spermatogenesis. SPATA1 is localized at chromosome 1q21. At least three isoforms of SPATA1 are known to exist. The longest is preferentially expressed in hematopoietic tissues. Its extracellular domain contains a single immunoglobulin-like domain, and its intracellular segment has two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs). It is thought to have an important role in hematopoietic cell signaling. The mid-sized isoform contains a short intracellular part without ITIMs, while the shortest isoform lacks the transmembrane segment and represents a potential soluble protein (2, 3).
