Background: BST-1 (bone marow stromal antigen-1) has been identified as a surface molecule that is GPI-anchored to the cell membrane of stromal cells. Both ADP-ribosyl cyclase and cADPR hydrolase activites have been demonstrated by BST-1. cADPR activity is a potential regulator of insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells. Most pancreatic islet cells express BST-1, indicating a link between BST-1 and insulin secretion. BST-1 expression has also been found in a wide range of tissues including umbilical vein endothelial cells, monocytes and granulocytes. BST-1 expression in thymus tissue and on B and T cell progenitors undergoing gene rearrangement implicates BST-1 as a useful marker for lymphoid progenitor cells that are initiating gene rearrangement of their antigen receptors. BST-1 has also been shown to facilitate B cell growth and may act as a receptor.

Purification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

Storage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Specificity: BST1 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of BST1 protein.

Bioworld Molecular Weight: ~ 36 kDa
