Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:Pig
Specificity / Sensitivity
GAPDH (14C10) Rabbit mAb (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total GAPDH protein.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide near the carboxy terminus of human GAPDH. This antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 under optimal conditions with an F/P ratio of 2-6.
Description
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for direct flow cytometry and immunofluorescent analysis in human cells. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated GAPDH (14C10) Rabbit mAb #2118.
Background
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) catalyzes the phosphorylation of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate during glycolysis. Though differentially expressed from tissue to tissue (1), GAPDH is thought to be a constitutively expressed housekeeping protein. For this reason, GAPDH mRNA and protein levels are often measured as controls in experiments quantifying specific changes in expression of other targets. Recent work has elucidated roles for GAPDH in apoptosis (2), gene expression (3) and nuclear transport (4). GAPDH may also play a role in neurodegenerative pathologies such as Huntington and Alzheimer's diseases (4,5).
