The Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (CAB4304) is a valuable tool for researchers studying PLAP, an enzyme commonly found in placental tissue and some types of tumors. This antibody, generated in rabbits, is highly specific for PLAP and has been validated for use in various applications including immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA).PLAP is a key marker for trophoblastic differentiation and is often used in diagnostic pathology to distinguish between normal and abnormal placental tissues. In cancer research, elevated levels of PLAP have been linked to certain types of germ cell tumors, making this antibody an essential tool for studying tumor biology and identifying potential therapeutic targets.
With its high specificity and sensitivity, the PLAP Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (CAB4304) is a reliable reagent for researchers investigating the role of PLAP in both normal physiological processes and disease states. Its versatility and accuracy make it an essential component in any laboratory studying placental biology, cancer, or developmental disorders.
The protein encoded by this gene is an alkaline phosphatase, a metalloenzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphoric acid monoesters. It belongs to a multigene family composed of four alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes. The enzyme functions as a homodimer and has a catalytic site containing one magnesium and two zinc ions, which are required for its enzymatic function. One of the main sources of this enzyme is the liver, and thus, it's one of several indicators of liver injury in different clinical conditions. In pregnant women, this protein is primarily expressed in placental and endometrial tissue, however, strong ectopic expression has been detected in ovarian adenocarcinoma, serous cystadenocarcinoma, and other ovarian cancer cells.
