ZAG (zinc-alpha 2-glycoprotein; also ZA2G) is a 40 kDa, secreted member of the MHC class I family of proteins. It is produced by adipocytes and various epithelial cells that generate exocrine-type secretions. ZAG is reported to stimulate lipid breakdown and thus may play a role in lipid homeostasis. Mature human ZAG is 278 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one MHC class I antigen region (aa 26‑201) and a C2‑type Ig‑like domain (aa 207‑292). Two alternate splice forms exist; one shows a 66 aa substitution for the C‑terminal 30 aa, and a second shows a nine Lys substitution for aa 151‑298. Mature human ZAG is 60% aa identical to mouse ZAG.

Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse ZAG Antibody
ZAG in MCF‑7 Human Cell Line.
ZAG was detected in immersion fixed MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line using Mouse Anti-Human ZAG Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB47641) at 25 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

ZAG in 3T3‑L1 Mouse Cell Line.
ZAG was detected in immersion fixed 3T3-L1 mouse embryonic fibroblast adipose-like cell line using Mouse Anti-Human ZAG Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB47641) at 25 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.
