Recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using in vitro expression systems. The expression systems are developed by cloning in the specific antibody DNA sequences from immunoreactive rabbits. Then, individual clones are screened to select the best candidates for production. The advantages of using recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies include: better specificity and sensitivity, lot-to-lot consistency, animal origin-free formulations, and broader immunoreactivity to diverse targets due to larger rabbit immune repertoire.
This antibody has specificity for Human PRL-2/PTP4A2.
PRL-2, also known as Protein tyrosine phosphatase 4a2 (Ptp4a2) is a unique nuclear protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) that plays a central role in regulating diverse cellular processes. PRL-1 is induced in mitogen-stimulated cells and regenerating liver. PRL-2 exhibits 87% identity to PRL-1 in their amino acid sequences. All mouse PRL proteins contain a C-terminal consensus sequence for prenylation. All PRL proteins bear significant sequence homology to Cdc14p and the tumor suppressor PTEN/MMAC1. PRL-2 is preferentially expressed in skeletal muscle. PRL-2 is also expressed at lower levels in other tissues.
