Insulin antibody (AA 1-84)

Catalog No. ABIN3026326

Product Details anti-Insulin Antibody

Target: Insulin (INS)

Binding Specificity: AA 1-84

Reactivity: Human, Pig, Cow, Rat, Rabbit

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Insulin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Characteristics: This antibody cocktail recognizes a polypeptide which is identified as insulin, a 51-amino acid polypeptide composed of A and B chains connected through the C-peptide. Proinsulin, which has very little biological activity, is cleaved by proteases within its cell of origin into the insulin molecule and the C-terminal basic residue. It enhances membrane transport of glucose, amino acids, and certain ions. It also promotes glycogen storage, formation of triglycerides, and synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids. Deficiency of insulin results in diabetes mellitus. The main storage site for insulin is the pancreatic islets. Specific antibodies can be used as beta-cell and insulinoma markers.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Full length purified pig Insulin (aa 1-84), clones E2-E3 and 2D11-H5, was used as the immunogen for this antibody cocktail.

Clone: E2-E3-2D11-H5 or INS04-INS05

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. No special pretreatment is required for staining of formalin/paraffin tissues.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.\. FACS: 0.5-1 μg/million cells,IF: 1-2 μg/mL,IHC (FFPE): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT (1),Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only
