Histatin 1 (HTN1) (internal) antibody

Antigen: Histatin 1 (HTN1)

Synonyms: HIS1

Epitope: internal

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Human

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350373

Additional Information

Alternative name: Histatin 1 (Histatin-1) (internal region)

Swiss-Prot: P15515

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from internal region of human Histatin-1 conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein has been used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: FUNCTION: Histatins are salivary proteins that are considered to be major precursors of the protective proteinaceous structure on tooth surfaces (enamel pellicle). In addition, histatins exhibit antibacterial and antifungal activities. Tissue specificity: Submandibular and parotid glands. Also known as: Histatin-1, Histidine-rich protein 1, HTN1, HIS1.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for Histatin-1.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. Use at a dilution of 1:100 to 1: 2000. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

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.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
