LRP1 Antibody (5A6): sc-57351

LRP1 Antibody (5A6) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody designed to detect Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 1 (LRP1), also known as α2-Macroglobulin Receptor (α2MR). LRP1 is a large, multifunctional endocytic receptor characterized by its complex structure, which includes clusters of cysteine-rich class A repeats, epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats, YWTD repeats, and an O-linked sugar domain. This intricate architecture enables LRP1 to interact with a diverse array of ligands, facilitating essential processes such as lipid metabolism, protease clearance, and cellular signaling. The structural integrity of LRP1 is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and enabling the uptake of over fifteen different ligands, including α2-Macroglobulin and apolipoprotein E (apoE). LRP1 is predominantly expressed on the cell surface in key tissues like the brain, liver, and lungs, highlighting its importance in neurological health, metabolic regulation, and respiratory function. Anti-LRP1 antibody (5A6) targets the full-length native human LRP1, specifically recognizing the 85 kDa cleaved fragment of the protein across multiple species, including mouse, rat, and human for applications such as western blotting (WB), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and flow cytometry (FCM). By enabling precise analysis of LRP1′s structural domains, LRP1 (5A6) antibody supports advanced studies into its critical roles in physiological processes and involvement in pathological conditions like Alzheimer′s disease, where the LRP1 gene is located at a significant locus on chromosome 12.

Monoclonal antibodies for mammalian and non-mammalian protein targets represent essentially all targets covered by polyclonal antibodies. Over 8,300 of our antibodies are offered as ImmunoCruz^® conjugates which eliminates the need for a secondary antibody.
