| Product Name | Anti-GAPDHS Monoclonal Antibody |
|---|---|
| Description | GAPDHS (the sperm-specific glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, also known as GAPD2, GAPDS, HSD-35, or GAPDH-2, is a glycolytic enzyme that plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. Like its somatic cell counterpart, this sperm-specific enzyme functions in a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent manner to remove hydrogen and add phosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to form 1,3-diphosphoglycerate. During spermiogenesis, this enzyme may play an important role in regulating the switch between different energy-producing pathways, and it is required for sperm motility and male fertility. It can be used as an intra-acrosomal marker for evaluation of the physiological state of sperm cells as well as for selection of a suitable method of fertilization in the laboratories of assisted reproduction. |
| Clone | Hs-8 |
| Immunogen | Freshly ejaculated human sperms were washed in PBS and extracted in 3% acetic acid, 10% glycerol, 30 mM benzaminidine. The acid extract was dialyzed against 0.2% acetic acid and subsequently used for immunization. |
| Isotype | IgM |
| Specificity | The antibody Hs-8 reacts with GAPDHS, the sperm-specific glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase, previously identified under the general name "intra-acrosomal protein". |
| Reactivity | Human, Porcine |
| Applications | FC, ICC, WB |
| Form | Tris buffered saline (TBS) with 15 mM sodium azide, approx. pH 8.0 |
| Storage | Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. |
