Recombinant protein corresponding to Leu570-Ala808 of human ABCB5, expressed in E. coli.
ABCB5 [ATP-Binding Cassette Subfamily B (MDR/TAP) Member 5] is a human ABC transporter and P-glycoprotein family member principally expressed in physiological skin and human malignant melanoma. ABCB5-alpha and -beta diverge after exon 6, with ABCB5-alpha including a seventh exon that encodes its 3-prime UTR, and ABCB5-beta including 14 more exons. The 131aa ABCB5-alpha protein has a calculated molecular mass of 15kD. It has an ABC signature motif and a Walker B consensus sequence, but no Walker A consensus sequence. In contrast, ABCB5-beta has an N-terminal ABC signature motif and Walker B motif, followed by 6 transmembrane domains and C-terminal Walker A, ABC signature, and Walker B motifs. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:100-1:5000 Western Blot: 1:50-400 Immunohistochemistry (frozen): 1:50-500 Immunohistochemistry (paraffin): 1:10-100 Immunocytochemistry: 1:50-500 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
