Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA), Dot Blot (DB), Radioimmunoassay (RIA), Immunodiffusion (ID)
Specificity
The antibody recognizes GAPDH from Rabbit muscle. The reagents were evaluated for potency, purity and specificity using most or all of the following techniques: Immunoelectrophoresis, Cross-Immunoelectrophoresis, single Radial Immunodiffusion (Ouchterlony), block titration, ELISA, Immunoblotting and Enzyme Inhibition. Cross-reactivities against enzymes of other sources may occur but have not been determined.
Purification
Solid Phase Affinity Chromatography
Immunogen
Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase isolated and purified from Rabbit muscle. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.

Glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is well known as one of the key enzymes involved in glycolysis. Besides its functioning as a glycolytic enzyme in cytoplasm, recent evidence suggest that mammalian GAPDH is also involved in a great number of intracellular proceses such as membrane fusion, microtubule bundling, phosphotransferase activity, nuclear RNA export, DNA replication, and DNA repair. During the last decade a lot of findings appeared concerning the role of GAPDH in different pathologies including prostate cancer progression, programmed neuronal cell death, age-related neuronal diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease. GAPDH is constitutively expressed in almost all tissues at high levels, therefore becoming the marker of choice when a loading control in Western blotting is required. Some physiological factors, such as hypoxia and diabetes, increase GAPDH expression in certain cell types.Synonyms: CDABP0047, GAPD, Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase
