General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-16519) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human CRYAB, targeting the amino acid region 1–175 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human CRYAB from mouse and rat. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. CRYAB is the gene that encodes alpha-B crystallin (also known as HSPB5), a member of the small heat shock protein family that acts as a molecular chaperone to prevent the aggregation of unfolded proteins in cells. This protein is a key component of the eye lens, where it contributes to transparency and refractive properties, but it is also widely expressed in non-lenticular tissues such as the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle.
DPABH-16519 is suitable for use in ELISA (1:4,000–1:8,000), IHC (1:50–1:100), Western blot (WB) (1:1,000–1:4,000) applications.
DPABH-16519 is supplied as a liquid formulation in 0.01M PBS, pH 7.4, 50% Glycerol, 0.05% Proclin 300. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
