PTK7, also known as protein tyrosine kinase 7 or colon carcinoma kinase 4 (CCK-4), represents a distinctive member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family characterized by its catalytically inactive kinase domain. Despite lacking enzymatic activity, PTK7 plays essential roles in planar cell polarity, Wnt signaling modulation, and cell migration processes. Its involvement in developmental pathways and aberrant expression patterns in various malignancies, including colorectal and lung cancers, has established PTK7 as a compelling target for both basic research and therapeutic development.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 8H7, offers researchers the reproducibility advantages inherent to sequence-defined antibody production. Unlike traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies that can drift over time, recombinant technology ensures that every lot delivers identical binding characteristics, providing confidence when comparing results across extended studies or between laboratories.
Functional ELISA validation demonstrates robust binding performance with cross-species reactivity spanning human and cynomolgus macaque PTK7. The antibody exhibits particularly strong affinity for human PTK7, with EC50 values in the sub-nanogram range (0.37–0.66 ng/mL), while maintaining reliable detection of monkey PTK7 at slightly higher concentrations (EC50: 1.40–1.67 ng/mL). SEC-HPLC analysis confirms greater than 95% purity, reflecting the quality achievable through affinity chromatography purification.
The broad recommended dilution range for ELISA applications (1:5,000 to 1:50,000) provides flexibility for optimization across different experimental conditions. For researchers investigating Wnt pathway regulation, cell polarity mechanisms, or exploring PTK7 as a biomarker in oncology studies, this antibody delivers the consistency and sensitivity needed for meaningful, reproducible results.
