Summary
Carbonic Anhydrase IX antibody (CA9 antibody) detects carbonic anhydrase 9, a ~50 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein. CA9 expression is enhanced by HIF1-alpha signaling in various biological processes, including cell proliferation and transformation. Found in many tissues, CA9 overexpression promotes tumor growth in various cancers.
Application Note
For ICC/IF: Use at a dilution of 1:100-1:1000. For WB: Use at a dilution of 1:100-1:1000. For IHC-P: Use at a dilution of 1:100-1:1000. For FACS: Use at a dilution of 1:100-1:1000 for 1x10^6 cells. For IP: Use at a concentration of 2-10μg/mg lysate. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the researcher.

Product Note
Clone GT12 binds to linear repetitive epitope in the PG region and allows for selective detection of both native and denatured CA IX without cross-reactivity to other carbonic anhydrases.

Background
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) are a large family of zinc metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. They participate in a variety of biological processes, including respiration, calcification, acid-base balance, bone resorption, and the formation of aqueous humor, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and gastric acid. They show extensive diversity in tissue distribution and in their subcellular localization. CA IX is a transmembrane protein and is one of only two tumor-associated carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes known. It is expressed in all clear-cell renal cell carcinoma, but is not detected in normal kidney or most other normal tissues. It may be involved in cell proliferation and transformation. This gene was mapped to 17q21.2 by fluorescence in situ hybridization, however, radiation hybrid mapping localized it to 9p13-p12. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2014]
