MetAP-2 Antibody (B-8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG3 antibody that detects methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP-2) in mouse, rat, and human samples through various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). MetAP-2 plays a crucial role in protein maturation by removing N-terminal methionine residues from nascent peptides, a process essential for proper folding and function of many proteins. Anti-MetAP-2 antibody (B-8) enables research into enzymatic activity particularly important in regulating cell proliferation, as MetAP-2 is involved in controlling various cellular processes that influence tumor growth. MetAP-2 expression is tightly regulated by neurofibromin (NF1), and increased MetAP-2 levels have been associated with several types of cancer, making MetAP-2 a significant target for therapeutic intervention. Inhibitors of MetAP-2, such as ovalicin and fumagillin, have shown promise in cancer treatment by specifically targeting MetAP-2′s active site, thereby hindering tumor proliferation, especially in NF1-associated malignancies. MetAP-2 (B-8) antibody serves as an invaluable tool for researchers investigating MetAP-2′s role in cancer biology and therapeutic development.
