At least three isoforms of SPATA18 are known to exist, this antibody will detect the two longest isoforms. SPATA18 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other SPATA family members.
Purification
SPATA18 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
SPATA18 antibody was raised against a 19 amino acid synthetic peptide near the amino terminus of human SPATA18. The immunogen is located within amino acids 90 - 140 of SPATA18.
SPATA18 antibody can be used for detection of SPATA18 by Western blot at 1 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

SPATA18 Antibody: SPATA18, also known as SPETEX-1, was initially identified as a cytoplasmic protein of elongate spermatids that is thought to be involved in differentiation process of elongate spermatids to mature spermatozoa. Recent experiments have shown that SPATA18 is a transcriptional target of p53 and p63. It has also been suggested to play a role in mitochondria quality control by inducing intramitochondrial lysosome-like organella that eliminate oxidized mitochondrial proteins.
