Description
The immunogen used for this product shares 75% homology with TUB (Tubby protein homolog, Uniprot: P50607). In western blot, we observe a specific band at ~55kDa which is not seen in KO cell lines. An additional band below this band of interest is seen at ~50kDa in both the WT and KO cells which could correspond to the protein TUB. Please note that cross-reactivity with this protein has not been confirmed experimentally. TUB is localized notably in high concentrations in the nucleoli of brain neurons with lower protein levels in the cytoplasm. Please, therefore, be aware that ICC experiments may need to be optimised. Abcam welcomes customer feedback and would appreciate any comments regarding this product and the data presented above. As an alternative antibody, we would recommend our recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody ab52623 which has been shown to specific in both WB and ICC using KO cells.
