Product Name :
Desmin (I448) Peptide Applications :
Blocking Background :
Cytoskeletal intermediate filaments (IFs) constitute a diverse group of proteins that are expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner. Intermediate filaments are constructed from two-chain alpha-helical coiled-coil molecules arranged on an imperfect helical lattice and have been widely used as markers for distinguishing individual cell types within a tissue and identifying the origins of metastatic tumors. One such intermediate filament protein, Vimentin, is a general marker of cells originating in the mesenchyme. Vimentin is frequently co-expressed with other members of the intermediate filament family such as the cytokeratins,in neoplasms including melanoma and breast carcinoma. Vimentin and Desmin, a related class III intermediate filament, are both expressed during skeletal muscle development. Alternative Name :
DES Swiss-Prot :
P17661 Product :
1 mg/ml in DI water. Purification&Purity :
Synthetic peptide Desmin (I448). (Note: the amino acid sequence is proprietary). The purity is > 98%. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
This peptide can be used with studies using BS1712 Desmin (I448) pAb.
