Anti-CAIX Antibody, Sodium Azide Free

FC, IF, WB, IHC (Prediluted format)

Recombinant human protein was used as the immunogen for the CAIX antibody.

Recognizes a glycoprotein identified as carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX/gp2). Carbonic Anhydrases (CAs) are members of a large family of zinc metallo-enzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. CAs are involved in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva and gastric juice. They show extensive diversity in distribution and in their subcellular localization. CA IX is specifically expressed in clear-cell renal carcinomas.
