Anti-Developmental Pluripotency-Associated Protein 5 (DPPA5, ECAT2, Esg-1) (Biotin)

DPPA5, also known as Esg-1 and ECAT2, is a 14kD RNA-binding protein expressed in early embryos, primordial germ cells, and embryonic stem cells and is used as a marker of the pluripotent state. Mouse DPPA5 is 118 amino acids in length and shows 63% amino acid identity with human and 81% amino acid identity with rat DPPA5 proteins. Applications: Western Blot: This antibody can be used at 0.1-0.2ug/ml with the appropriate secondary reagents to detect mouse DPPA5. The detection limit for rmDPPA5 is approximately 5 ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions. In this format, this antibody shows approximately 25% cross-reactivity with rhDPPA5 and less than 10% cross-reactivity with rmDPPA4. , Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile TBS with 40-50% glycerol and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
