Napsin A (NAPSA) is a lysosomal aspartic protease expressed primarily in lung alveolar epithelial cells and renal tubular epithelium, where it participates in protein processing within secretory and lysosomal pathways. Napsin A Antibody / HuProt Microarray Validated Antibody is designed to provide highly specific detection of Napsin A, supported by proteome-wide validation across thousands of human proteins. Napsin A antibody, also known as NAPSA antibody, is widely used in research focused on epithelial differentiation, lung biology, and tumor-associated protein expression.
Napsin A is produced as a precursor protein that undergoes proteolytic maturation to generate its active enzymatic form, with localization in intracellular vesicles and lysosomal compartments. Its expression is strongly enriched in lung and kidney tissues, reflecting its role in surfactant protein processing and epithelial cell function. This restricted expression profile contributes to its value as a marker of pulmonary epithelial identity and disease-associated differentiation.
This Napsin A Antibody / HuProt Microarray Validated Antibody incorporates clone NAPSA/3306, a mouse monoclonal antibody evaluated using HuProt microarray technology. HuProt arrays contain thousands of full-length human proteins, enabling comprehensive assessment of antibody binding specificity across the human proteome. This large-scale validation approach provides a higher level of stringency compared to standard protein microarrays by directly evaluating binding against a broad representation of native protein targets.
The HuProt microarray validation of this antibody supports applications requiring the highest level of specificity, particularly in experiments involving complex protein mixtures, closely related protease families, or low-abundance targets. By demonstrating selective binding to Napsin A across a proteome-wide panel, this approach minimizes the risk of cross-reactivity and supports highly confident interpretation of experimental results.
In biological research, Napsin A is closely associated with lung adenocarcinoma and epithelial differentiation, where its expression reflects alveolar lineage characteristics. Detection of Napsin A provides important insight into tissue origin and cellular identity, particularly in studies of tumor biology and pulmonary function. The use of a HuProt microarray validated antibody strengthens these analyses by ensuring high specificity in target detection across diverse sample types.
Overall, Napsin A antibody reagents supported by HuProt microarray validation provide highly specific and reliable detection of Napsin A, enabling precise protein analysis in applications where maximal specificity and confidence in target recognition are essential.
This antibody is part of a comprehensive NAPSA antibody collection developed to support Napsin A detection across IHC, WB, IF, and FACS applications in lung cancer and epithelial biology research.
Optimal dilution of the Napsin A Antibody / HuProt Microarray Validated Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids 189-299 from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the Napsin A antibody.
Store the Napsin A antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
