Quantity :50µL Clone Number: Aliases:170 kDa melanoma membrane bound gelatinase antibody; 170 kDa melanoma membrane-bound gelatinase antibody; DPPIV antibody; FAP antibody; FAPA antibody; Fibroblast activation protein alpha antibody; Integral membrane serine protease antibody; SEPR_ antibody; Seprase antibody Product Type:Polyclonal Antibody Immunogen Species:Homo sapiens () UniProt ID:Q12884 Immunogen:Recombinant Prolyl endopeptidase FAP protein (26-280AA) Raised in:Rabbit Reactivity: Tested Applications:ELISA, IHC; Recommended dilution: IHC:1:20-1:200 Background:Cell surface glycoprotein serine protease that participates in extracellµLar matrix degradation and involved in many cellµLar processes including tissue remodeling, fibrosis, wound healing, inflammation and tumor growth. Both plasma membrane and soluble forms exhibit post-proline cleaving endopeptidase activity, with a marked preference for Ala/Ser-Gly-Pro-Ser/Asn/Ala consensus sequences, on substrate such as alpha-2-antiplasmin SERPINF2 and SPRY2 (PubMed:14751930, PubMed:16223769, PubMed:16480718, PubMed:16410248, PubMed:17381073, PubMed:18095711, PubMed:21288888, PubMed:24371721). Degrade also gelatin, heat-denatured type I collagen, but not native collagen type I and IV, vibronectin, tenascin, laminin, fibronectin, fibrin or casein (PubMed:9065413, PubMed:2172980, PubMed:7923219, PubMed:10347120, PubMed:10455171, PubMed:12376466, PubMed:16223769, PubMed:16651416, PubMed:18095711). Have also dipeptidyl peptidase activity, exhibiting the ability to hydrolyze the prolyl bond two residues from the N-terminus of synthetic dipeptide substrates provided that the penµLtimate residue is proline, with a preference for Ala-Pro, Ile-Pro, Gly-Pro, Arg-Pro and Pro-Pro (PubMed:10347120, PubMed:10593948, PubMed:16175601, PubMed:16223769, PubMed:16651416, PubMed:16410248, PubMed:17381073, PubMed:21314817, PubMed:24371721, PubMed:24717288). Natural neuropeptide hormones for dipeptidyl peptidase are the neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY), substance P (TAC1) and brain natriuretic peptide 32 (NPPB) (PubMed:21314817). The plasma membrane form, in association with either DPP4, PLAUR or integrins, is involved in the pericellµLar proteolysis of the extracellµLar matrix (ECM), and hence promotes cell adhesion, migration and invasion throµgh the ECM. Plays a role in tissue remodeling during development and wound healing. Participates in the cell invasiveness towards the ECM in malignant melanoma cancers. Enhances tumor growth progression by increasing angiogenesis, collagen fiber degradation and apoptosis and by reducing antitumor response of the immune system. Promotes glioma cell invasion throµgh the brain parenchyma by degrading the proteoglycan brevican. Acts as a tumor suppressor in melanocytic cells throµgh regµLation of cell proliferation and survival in a serine protease activity-independent manner.
