CST, 63411SF, BiP (C50B12) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying BiP. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin),Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, BiP (C50B12) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #63411) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #3177. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 3177 Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity BiP (C50B12) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) detects endogenous levels of total BiP protein. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification BiP (C50B12) Rabbit mAb is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gly584 of human BiP. Background Secretory and transmembrane proteins are synthesized on polysomes and translocated into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inside the ER, these proteins are often modified by disulfide bond formation, amino-linked glycosylation and folding. To help proteins fold properly, the ER contains a pool of molecular chaperones including BiP. BiP was identified as an immunoglobulin heavy chain binding protein in pre-B cells (1,2). It was also found to be induced at the protein level by glucose starvation (3). When protein folding is disturbed inside ER, BiP synthesis is increased. Subsequently, BiP binds to misfolded proteins to prevent them from forming aggregates and assists in proper refolding (4).
