EGF antibody (Extracellular Domain)

Catalog No. ABIN205919

Product Details anti-EGF Antibody

Target: EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF))

Binding Specificity: Extracellular Domain

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This EGF antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Functional Studies (Func)

Specificity: Recognizes human Epidermal Growth Factor, a potent stimulator and regulator of the proliferation of epidermal and epithelial cells, expressed by a variety of cells. The effects of EGF are initiated through tyrosine kinase activity, following the binding of EGF to the extracellular domain of the ~170 kD EGF receptor (EGFR), which also binds other EGF-like ligands with high affinity, including TGF-a (transforming growth factor alpha), VGF (vaccinia virus growth factor) and Betacellulin, expressed in the pancreas, small intestine and by certain tumor cells. Receptor activation through EGF binding triggers several signal transduction pathways, including the JAK/STAT and P13K/AKT pathways.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: Recombinant human EGF.

Type of Immunogen: Recombinant protein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Approved: ELISA (0.5 - 2 μg/mL), Func (0.25 - 0.35 μg/mL), IHC, IHC-P (0.25 - 1 μg/mL), WB (0.1 - 0.2 μg/mL)

Usage: Immunohistochemistry: This product requires protein digestion pre-treatment of paraffin sections e. g. trypsin or pronase.
