Anti-Repetin (AF646)

Recognizes human and mouse repetin. Detects a band of about 100kDa by Western blot. Liquid. In PBS containing 0.5% BSA and 0.005% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. Repetin is a late epidermal differentiation marker. Repetin is involved in the formation of the cornified cell envelope. It is a multifunctional epidermal matrix protein, which reversibly binds to calcium. Its expression is scattered in the normal epidermis but strong in the acrosyringium, the inner hair root sheat and in the filiform papilli of the tongue.
