Epitope: internal

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

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

Catalog no.: ABIN351341

Additional Information

Alternative name: Vesicle associated membrane protein 8 (VAMP8, Endobrevin) (internal region)

Swiss-Prot: Q9BV40

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the internal region of human Vesicle associated membrane protein 8 (VAMP8, Endobrevin) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen. The antigen shares 97% identity with mouse and rat sequence.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: Function: Involved in the targeting and/or fusion of transport vesicles to their target membrane. Involved for dense-granule secretion in platelets. Plays a role in regulated enzyme secretion in pancreatic acinar cells. Involved in the abscission of the midbody during cell division, which leads to completely separate daughter cells. Involved in the homotypic fusion of early and late endosomes. Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein Tissue specificity: Platelets Also known as: VAMP8, VAMP-8, Endobrevin.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for VAMP8.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. 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
