Clone RD301

(RUO)

Western blot analysis of desmin. Mouse muscle lysate was probed with anti-desmin (clone RD301, Cat. No. 550626) at concentrations 0.25 (lane 1), 0.125 (lane 2), and 0.06 µg/ml (lane 3). Desmin is identified as a band of ~53 kDa.

Antibody Details

RD301

Intermediate filaments (IF) are a subset of cytoskeletal proteins which function to give overall structural integrity to the plasma membrane as well as organize cells into specific tissues. IF proteins can be divided into six major types based upon the similarity in sequence. Desmin belongs to the type III category of IF proteins which are predominantly expressed in muscle cells including cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle. Furthermore, the expression of desmin is regulated in a stage and tissue-specific manner, since it is induced during terminal differentiation of skeletal muscle cells. In skeletal cardiac muscle cells, desmin is localized in the Z-disk region and at the intercalated disk and acts to stabilize sarcomeres in stimulated muscle. Desmin migrates in SDS/PAGE as a 53 kDa protein.

Format Details

Purified

Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
