NAG-1 Antibody (600-401-B09) in ELISA
In this sandwich ELISA, NAG-1 was captured from human serum using the following antibodies (see Related Products below): anti-NAG-1/GDF15 (C terminal specific), anti-NAG-1/GDF15 (N terminal specific (PAN)), anti-NAG-1/GDF15 (H-variant) and anti-NAG-1/GDF15 (D-variant) polyclonal antibodies. Micro titer plates were coated with capture antibody at 1 µg/mL. Control plates received PBS only (data not shown). After overnight incubation and blocking, independent experiments using 20 random normal human sera were performed. Neat normal sera were ... View More

This antibody specifically reacts with a D variant sequence of human NAG-1 protein from human tissues. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest partial reactivity with NAG-1 from chimpanzee and macaque based on a 92% homology. Cross-reactivity with NAG-1 from other sources has not been determined.
Target Information
GDF-15 belongs to the TGF-beta cytokine family, whose members play an important role during prenatal development and postnatal growth, and the remodeling and maintenance of a variety of tissues and organs. GDF-15 is expressed predominantly in the placenta and, to a much lesser extent, in various other tissues. The presence of GDF-15 in amniotic fluid and its elevated levels in the sera of pregnant women suggest GDF-15's involvement in gestation and embryonic development. GDF-15 generally exerts tumor suppressive activities and is one of the predominant factors produced and secreted in response to activation of the p53 pathway. Interestingly, the serum level of GDF-15 is positively correlated with neoplastic progression of several tumor types, including certain colorectal, pancreatic, and prostate cancers.
