      Background InformationFibroblast activation protein alpha (FAP), also known as Seprase, is a 97 kDa, type II cell surface glycoprotein belonging to the serine protease family. Although FAP is considered fibroblast specific, it is not found in normal healthy fibroblasts. FAP is most commonly found in stromal, tumor fibroblasts, and is likely involved in ECM pericellular proteolysis, endothelial cell migration and invasion into the ECM. The presence of FAP in human epithelial carcinoma is increased, particularly in breast, colorectal, lung, and ovarian carcinomas. FAP is also transiently observed in developing cells, or in tissues that are undergoing wound healing or suffering from chronic inflammatory conditions. Due to its specific distribution both to tumor fibroblasts and to inflammed tissue, FAP makes a promising target for research in tumor-stromal studies and in therapeutic studies.

      Key Applications
      • Western Blotting
      • Immunohistochemistry
      • Affects Function
      Application NotesImmunohistochemistry: A 1:750 dilution of a previous lot of FAP antibody was used to immunohistochemically stain frozen tissue sections of HEK-FAP or HT-29 xenograft tumors from C.B17 mice (Cheng, 2002).

      Inhibition: Inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase activity with a previous lot of FAP antibody on HT-29 xenograft tumors was demonstrated by an independent laboratory (Cheng, 2002).

      Entrez Gene Number
      Entrez Gene SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a homodimeric integral membrane gelatinase belonging to the serine protease family. It is selectively expressed in reactive stromal fibroblasts of epithelial cancers, granulation tissue of healing wounds, and malignant cells of bone and soft tissue sarcomas. This protein is thought to be involved in the control of fibroblast growth or epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during development, tissue repair, and epithelial carcinogenesis.

      • DPPIV
      Purification MethodAmmonium Sulfate
      UniProt Number
      UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: In association with DPP4 is involved in the pericellular proteolysis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the migration and invasion of endothelial cells into the ECM. May have a role in tissue remodeling during development and wound healing, and may contribute to invasiveness in malignant cancers.

      CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Degrades gelatin and heat-denatured type I and type IV collagen, but not native type I or type IV collagen. Does not cleave laminin, fibronectin, fibrin or casein.

      SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Homodimer, or heterodimer with DPP4. The monomer is inactive.

      SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell projection › lamellipodium membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell projection › invadopodium membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Note: Found in cell surface lamellipodia, invadopodia and on shed vesicles. Colocalized with DPP4 in invadopodia and lamellipodia of migratory activated endothelial cells in collagenous matrix. Colocalized with DPP4 on endothelial cells of capillary-like microvessels but not large vessels within invasive breast ductal carcinoma.

      TISSUE SPECIFICTY: Fibroblast specific.

      INDUCTION: In fibroblasts at times and sites of tissue remodeling during development, tissue repair, and carcinogenesis.

      PTM: N-glycosylated. Ref.11 Ref.9

      The N-terminus may be blocked.

      SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the peptidase S9B family.
      Molecular Weight~ 90 kDa observed MW. Two isoforms of the Fibroblast activation protein exist at calculated MWs of 88kDa and 27 kDa. It is possible that both bands may be obserbved in certain cell lines.
