VCP antibody

Catalog No. ABIN302102

Product Details anti-VCP Antibody

Target: VCP (Valosin Containing Protein (VCP))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This VCP antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)

Specificity: The antibody Hs-14 reacts with VCP (valosin-containing protein) a 220 kDa intra-acrosomal protein.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Mouse, Human

Purification: Purified by sequential steps of physicochemical fractionation (differential precipitation and solid-phase chromatography methods).

Purity: > 95 % (by SDS-PAGE)

Immunogen: Freshly ejaculated human sperms were washed in PBS and extracted in 3% acetic acid, 10% glycerol, 30 mM benzaminidine. The acid extract was dialyzed against 0.2% acetic acid and subsequently used for immunization.

Clone: Hs-14

Isotype: IgM

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunocytochemistry: Recommended dilution: 10 μg/mL, membrane permeabilization (acetone) is essential. The antibody Hs-14 is designed for quantitative immunofluorescence analysis of pathological sperms (excellent tool for laboratories of assisted reproduction when optimal method of fertilization is sought).
Flow cytometry: Intraacrosomal staining, recommended dilution: 3-12 μg/mL.

Background: Valosin containing protein,VCP (valosin-containing protein), also known as p97, TERA, ALS14, IBMPFD, HEL-220, IBMPFD1, or HEL-S-70, is a member of a protein family that includes putative ATP-binding proteins involved in vesicle transport and fusion, 26S proteasome function, and assembly of peroxisomes. VCP is a structural protein that associates with clathrin and heat-shock protein Hsc70, to form a complex. It has been implicated in a number of cellular events that are regulated during mitosis, including homotypic membrane fusion, spindle pole body function, and ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation. In sperm this intra-acrosomal protein can be used as a marker for evaluation of the physiological state of sperm cells as well as for selection of a suitable method of fertilization in the laboratories of assisted reproduction.,TERA, CDC48
