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.
SPHK1, along with SPHK2, catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine producing the signaling molecule sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). S1P signals through G-protein coupled receptors and controls diverse cellular processes. Inhibitors of SPHKs are viewed as potential therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. SPHK1 catalyzes the phosphorylation of sphingosine to sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P), an important signaling molecule with intra- and extracellular functions. Inside the cell S1P acts as a signaling molecule like other sphingolipid metabolites like ceramide and sphingosine. S1P has been implicated in regulating cell differentiation, calcium mobilization from intracellular stores, and apoptosis. The cell surface receptors for S1P are the EDG family of G protein-coupled receptors (S1P Receptors).
