General Notes
This product (Catalog No. CPBT-51342RH) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human AP2B1, targeting the amino acid region 598–951 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human AP2B1 from mouse and rat. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. AP2B1 is a component of the adaptor protein complex 2 (AP-2). AP complexes are cytosolic heterotetramers that mediate the sorting of membrane proteins in the secretory and endocytic pathways. AP complexes are involved in the formation of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs) by recruiting the scaffold protein, clathrin. AP complexes also play a pivotal role in the cargo selection by recognizing the sorting signals within the cytoplasmic tail of integral membrane proteins. AP-2 works on the plasma membrane to internalize cargo in clathrin-mediated endocytosis.
CPBT-51342RH is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:5,000–1:50,000), IP (0.5-4.0 μg for 1.0-3.0 mg of total protein lysate), IHC (1:50–1:500), IF/ICC (1:1,000–1:4,000) applications.
CPBT-51342RH is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3. 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.
