Western Blotting (WB), ELISA, Immunofluorescence (IF)
Purification
TRAP Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
TRAP antibody was raised against an 18 amino acid synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human TRAP. The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of TRAP.
TRAP antibody can be used for detection of TRAP by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in mouse samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

TRAP Antibody: TRAP, also known as uteroferrin, is an iron containing, glycosylated, acid phosphatase. It is the most basic of the acid phosphatases and is the only form not inhibited by L(+)-tartrate. Along with the related protein ACP2, TRAP mediates the removal of mannose 6-phosphate residues from proteins targeted to lysosomes. TRAP is present in brain at low levels, but is expressed at a much higher level in liver.
