Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A, Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 protease, PAPP-A-proMBP complex) is a large heterotetrameric glycoprotein of approximately 500 kDa, which was first discovered in serum from pregnant women. The hetreotetramer consists of two PAPP-A subunits and two proMBP subunits. Low maternal serum levels of PAPP-A in first trimester biochemical screening is used as a marker of Down’s syndrome (trisomy 21).
Purified human PAPP-A
ABS 006-24 is specific for native human PAPP-A. Heat and SDS denatured PAPP-A is also recognized, but not acid treated PAPP-A .
The epitope of ABS 006-24 is different from BTE 004-09 and ABS 006-01. The epitope is located on the PAPP-A subunit of the heterotetramer.
In sandwich ELISA the optimal combination was BTE 004-09 as coating and biotinylated ABS 006-24 as detection.
ABS 006-24 detect only unreduced PAPP-A in Western Blotting.
ABS 006-24 give the strongest singal in IHC compared to ABS 006-01 and BTE 004-09.
