This Retinoic Acid Receptor alpha antibody is un-conjugated
Application
Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Purpose
Goat polyclonal antibody raised against synthetic peptide of RARA.
Sequence
C-SPSLSPSSHR SSPATQSP
Specificity
NP_000955.1 (isfa) and NP_001028775.1(alpha) represent identical proteins. This antibody is expected to recognize all three reported isoforms (NP_000955.1, NP_001019980.1, NP_001028775.1). Please note the epitope is from the mouse/rat sequence. Human sequence is SPSLSPSSNRSSPATHSP and thus highly similar.
ELISA (1:8000) Western blot (1-3 μg/mL) Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) (4-6 μg/mL) The optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.
