Applications and Recommended Usage?
Quality Tested by Leinco
Immunohistochemistry: use at 5-10 ug/ml on frozen sections (reactivity on paraffin-embedded sections has not been determined)

Immunoblotting: use at 5-10 ug/ml

ELISA: use at 2-5 ug/ml (optimized for TS on solid phase at 5 ug/ml).

Immunoprecipitation: use #34002 only at 5-10 ug/ml.
Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change.

Description

Description

Specificity
Mouse Monoclonal Antibody specific to Human Thymidylate Synthase (36 kDa). It does not cross-react with rat TS.
Background
Thymidylate synthase (TS) is an intracellular enzyme critical for de novo synthesis of DNA. In cancer, expression of TS is often elevated and becomes further elevated as a result of treatment with the most commonly used chemotherapeutic, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Resistance or lack of response to 5-FU is attributed to the elevation of TS activity. Overexpression of TS has been demonstrated in many types of tumors including breast, colon, gastric and melanoma and is usually predictive of shortened survival time.
Function
Catalyzes the reductive methylation of 2'-deoxyuridine 5'-monophosphate (dUMP) to thymidine 5'-monophosphate (dTMP), using the cosubstrate, 5,10- methylenetetrahydrofolate (CH2H4folate) as a 1-carbon donor and reductant and contributes to the de novo mitochondrial thymidylate biosynthesis pathway. {PubMed:11278511, PubMed:21876188}.
