ELISA, Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Specificity
KHDC1 antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. At least three isoforms of KHDC1 are known to exist, this antibody will only detect the longest isoform.
Purification
KHDC1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
KHDC1 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human KHDC1.
The immunogen is located within amino acids 30 - 80 of KHDC1.
KHDC1 Antibody: KHDC1 family members are K-homology (KH) domain-containing RNA binding proteins that are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, ranging from transcription to RNA splicing, transportation, translation, and stability (1). KHDC1 is highly expressed in oocytes and interacts with cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein 1 (CPEB1), a key translational regulator controlling the polyA length of mRNAs (2,3). KHDC1 functions as a global translational repressor and induces apoptosis through an ER-dependent signaling pathway and that the C-terminal putative trans-membrane motif (TMM) is critical for its activities (3,4).
