Tool Details
- Tool name: Anti-Activin C [BetaC1]
- Alternate names: Activin beta-C chain, Inhibin beta C chain
- Clone: BetaC1
- Tool type: Antibodies
- Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Reactivity: Human
- Host: Mouse
- Application: IHC ; WB
- Strain: Balb/c
- Description: Activin is part of the TGF-beta superfamily, known to regulate growth and differentiation of cells. The ÄÂ?-C subunit of Activin is expressed in a range of tissues having growth promoting and inhibitory properties. ÄÂ?-C Clone 1 recognizes the ÄÂ?-C subunit of Activin and is a useful stain to detect expression of the protein in hepatocyte cells.
- Immunogen: Synthetic peptide sequence VPTARRPLSLLYYDRDSNIKVTDIPMVVEAC which recognizes amino acids 82-113 of human Activin ? -C subunit
- Isotype: IgG1
- Research area: Cancer; Immunology
- Myeloma used: Sp2/0-Ag14
- For Research Use Only
