General Notes
This product (Catalog No. CABT-BL3208) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human RTEL1. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human RTEL1 from mouse and rat. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. In mice, inactivation of the Rtel (regulator of telomere length) gene has been shown to cause chromosome breaks, fusions, and telomere loss. In addition, Rtel is required for telomere elongation. Therefore, the mouse Rtel gene regulates chromosome stability and telomere length. This gene is the human ortholog of the mouse Rtel gene, so its protein product may play similar roles in humans. Read-through transcription of this gene into the neighboring downstream gene, which encodes tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, decoy (TNFRSF6B), generates a non-coding transcript. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
CABT-BL3208 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:500–1:2,000), IP (0.5-4.0 μg for 1.0-3.0 mg of total protein lysate), IF/ICC (1:300–1:1,200) applications.
CABT-BL3208 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.
