ABCB1 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN296626

Product Details anti-ABCB1 Antibody

Target: ABCB1 (ATP-Binding Cassette, Sub-Family B (MDR/TAP), Member 1 (ABCB1))

Reactivity: Human, Primate

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This ABCB1 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: Recognizes an extracellular conformational epitope of CD243, also known as MDR1 (multi-drug resistance protein 1) and Pgp (P-glycoprotein), a transmembrane protein and member of the ABC transporter (ATP-binding cassette) family, which acts as an active efflux pump for a diverse range of lipophillic compounds. CD243 is expressed at low levels in the cell membrane of peripheral blood leucocytes, and constitutively expressed on the apical plasma membrane of excretory epithelial cells of the kidney, liver, brain and small intestine. Strong inhibitor of CD243-mediated efflux and of the resistance of MDR cells to CD243 transported cytotoxic drugs. Can be used in a shift assay to selectively demonstrate the expression and functional activity of CD243 in a target cell. Does not cross-react with mitochondrial pyruvate carboxylase.

No Cross-Reactivity: Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus)

Purification: Affinity purified

Immunogen: Mouse Balb/c 3T3 fibroblasts transfected with human CD243 cDNA.
