Additional Information

Alternative name: transmembrane protein 166 (TM166, TMEM166)

UniProt: Q9H8M9

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide as a part of human, rat, mouse transmembrane protein 166 (TM166, TMEM166) conjugated to immunogenic carrier protein has been used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: FUNCTION: Acts as a regulator of programmed cell death, mediating bothautophagy and apoptosis. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. Lysosome membrane; Single-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in lung, kidney, liver, pancreas, placenta, but not in heart and skeletal muscle. Also known as: TM166, TMEM166.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for TMEM166.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. Use at a dilution of 1 : 200 to 1 : 2000. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user.

Purity: whole serum

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Research Area: Autophagy

Restrictions: For Research Use only
