4E-BP1 (Ab-45) antibody detects endogenous levels of total 4E-BP1 protein. This antibody may crossreact with 4E-BP2 and 4E-BP3.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized non-phosphopeptide derived from human 4E-BP1 around the phosphorylation site of threonine 45 (S-T-TP-P-G).
Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 50% glycerol
Preservative
Sodium azide
Precaution of Use
This product contains sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.
