Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ E. coli Protease-7, also known as Omptin (ompT) or Outer membrane protein 3B, belongs to the omptin family of outer membrane proteases found in several Gram-negative bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family. Omptins are unique proteases combining features of both serine and aspartate proteases activity. Several group members may also have cysteine protease and metalloproteases activities, all share a conserved active site. The enzyme proteolytic activity is dependent on the interaction with the lipid A region of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Synthetic peptide corresponding to human N-terminal region E.coli Protease7, conjugated to KLH_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Protease-7 antibody specifically recognizes Protease-7 from E. coli and Shigella flexneri and does not cross react with Proteus mirabilis. The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including Immunoblotting (doublet ~35 kDa)._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ This product is for R&D use only, not for drug, household, or other uses.
