RBP4 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6938313

Product Details anti-RBP4 Antibody

Target: RBP4 (Retinol Binding Protein 4, Plasma (RBP4))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This RBP4 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

Specificity: Recognizes a protein of 21 kDa-25 kDa, identified as retinol binding protein (RBP). Its epitope localizes between aa 74-182 of human RBP. This MAb recognizes reduced and carboxy-methylated RBP (RCM-RBP) as well as the circulatory RBP but not the native RBP, thereby suggesting that its epitope becomes accessible either on unfolding or upon binding of RBP to transthyretin (prealbumin). RBP is responsible for distributing retinol from the retinoid stores in the liver to the various target tissues. Once secreted into the blood with bound retinol, the vitamin carrier circulates complexed with transthyretin prior to vitamin delivery at the plasma membrane through a receptor-mediated mechanism.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human. Monkey. Goat. Rabbit. Rat. Mouse.
