• Reactivity:

  Human. Others not known.

• Storage Conditions:

  Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8 degree C.
  Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80 degree C.

• Specificity:

  Napsin is a pepsin-like aspartic proteinaseconnected with maturation of surfactant protein B. There are two closely related napsins, napsin A and napsin B. Napsin A is expressed as a single chain protein. Immunohistochemical studies revealed high expression levels of napsin A in human lung and kidney but low expression in spleen. Napsin A is expressed in type II pneumocytes and in adenocarcinomas of lung. The high specificity expression of napsin A in adenocarcinomas of lung is useful to distinguish primary lung adenocarcinomas from adenocarcinomas of other organs.
