Lambda Light Chain [HP6054]
Description Each immunoglobulin molecule consists of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. There are two types of light chains designated as kappa and lambda. The gene rearrangement process that generates the immunoglobulin molecule results in either a productive kappa or lambda gene. The lambda light chain antibody labels the lambda light chain that expresses normal and neoplastic B lymphocytes and plasma cells. Other cells may also express lambda light chain due to nonspecific uptake of immunoglobulin. Individual B cells express either kappa or lambda light chains. Monoclonality is generally assumed to be evidence of a malignant proliferation. The pairing of a kappa with a lambda light chain antibody is useful for identifying monoclonality of lymphoid malignancies.

Laminin Alpha 2/Merosin [5H2]
Description Laminins are essential and abundant structural non-collagenous glycoproteins localizing to basement membranes. Basement membranes (cell-associated extracellular matrices (ECMs)) are polymers of laminins with stabilizing Type IV Collagen networks, Nidogen and several proteoglycans. Basement membranes are found under epithelial layers, around the endothelium of blood vessels, and surrounding muscle, peripheral nerve and fat cells. Formation of basement membranes influences cell proliferation, phenotype, migration, gene expression and tissue architecture. Each laminin is a heterotrimer of α, β and γ chain subunits that undergoes cell-secretion and incorporation into the ECM. Laminins can self-assemble and bind to other matrix macromolecules, and have unique and shared cell interactions mediated by integrins, dystroglycan and cognate laminin receptors. The human Laminin α-2 gene is necessary for sustenance of mature muscle cells. The Laminin α-2 gene is associated with congenita.

Lysozyme/Muramidase [EPR2994(2)]
Description Lysozyme is a ubiquitous enzyme defined as muraminidase catalyzing the hydrolysis of the beta glycosidic bond in bacterial peptidoglycan, a major component of the bacterial cell wall. Lysozyme in tissues and body fluids is associated with the monocyte-macrophage system and enhances the activity of immunoagents. Lysozyme C catalyzes the hydrolysis of certain mucopolysaccharides of bacterial cell walls. Specifically, it catalyzes the hydrolysis of the bacterial cell wall beta glycosidic linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. It is found in the spleen, lung, kidney, white blood cells, plasma, saliva, milk, and tears. Defects in Lysozyme C are a cause of amyloidosis type 8 (AMYL8), also known as systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis or Ostertag-type amyloidosis. Lysozyme immunoreactivity has been found in myeloid cells, histiocytes, granulocytes, macrophages, and monocytes. It is a good marker for macrophages that are activated in phagocytosis.

Major Vault Protein (MVP) [1032]
Description Recognizes a protein of 104kDa-110kDa, characterized as major vault protein (MVP). Vaults are large ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) present in all eukaryotic cells. They have a complex morphology, including several small molecules of RNA, but a single protein species. The MVP accounts for >70% of their mass. Their shape is reminiscent of the nucleopore central plug. Treatment of cells with estradiol increases the amount of MVP in nuclear extract. The hormone-dependent interaction of vaults with ER is prevented in vitro by sodium molybdate. Antibodies to estrogen, progesterone and glucocorticoid receptors are able to co-immunoprecipitate the MVP. MVP is overexpressed in many neoplastic tissues and cell lines. Expression of MVP predicts a poor response to chemotherapy.

MAP2 [SMI52]
Description Microtubule-associated protein 2 or MAP2 is encoded by the Map2 (or Mtap2) gene. MAP2 belongs to the family of thermostable proteins associated with microtubules. It is an abundant neuronal cytoskeletal protein that binds to tubulin and stabilizes microtubules against depolymerization. It also has a stiffening effect on microtubules. MAP2 is shown to be essential for the development and maintenance of neuronal morphology. Three primary isoforms of MAP2, the high molecular weight MAP2a and MAP2b, and the low molecular weight MAP2c (resulting from alternate splicing of the MAP2 gene) have been identified in neurons. The low molecular weight isoform, MAP2c, is expressed in developing brain and is down-regulated during brain maturation, whereas the high molecular weight MAP2b is expressed in both developing and adult brain. The MAP2a appears only after brain maturation. All these forms bind to microtubules through a domain near the carboxyl terminus that contains either three or four simil Host Mouse Application ELISA, Immunocytochemistry (ICC),Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB) Reactivity Mammalian, Xenopus -

MAP3K1 (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase 1) [2F6]
Description Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascades are activated by various extracellular stimuli, including growth factors. The MEK kinases (also designated MAP kinase kinase kinases, MKKKs, MAP3Ks or MEKKs) phosphorylate and thereby activate the MEKs (also called MAP kinase kinases or MKKs), including ERK, JNK and p38. These activated MEKs in turn phosphorylate and activate the MAP kinases. The MEK kinases include Raf-1, Raf-B, Mos, MEK kinase-1, MEK kinase-2, MEK kinase-3, MEK kinase-4 and ASK 1 (MEK kinase- 5). MEK kinase-1 activates the ERK and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways by phosphorylation of MAP2K1 and MAP2K4, and also activates the central protein kinases of the NFĪŗB pathway, CHUK and IKBKB. Additionally, MEK kinase-1 uses an E3 ligase through its PHD domain, a RING-finger-like structure, to target proteins for degradation through ubiquitination.

MAP3K3/MEKK3 (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase Kinase 3) [5C1]
Description MEKKs (Mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinases) are serine-threonine kinases that act as the first tier of cellular MAP kinase pathways by activation of MAP/ERK kinases, or MEKs. Many enzymes with MEKK activity have been identified, including MEKK1-4, Raf, MLK3, TAK, and DLK. MEKKs generally display little similarity outside of their catalytic kinase domains. MEKK1-4 are nearly 50% identical within their catalytic domains, and are known to regulate Erk, Jnk, and p38 MAP kinase pathways. MEKK2 and MEKK3 bind MEK5 via conserved PB1 domains, leading to downstream activation of Erk5.
