Insulin Antibody

• Catalog Number: orb385878
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: After removal of the precursor signal peptide, proinsulin is post-translationally cleaved into three peptides: the B chain and A chain peptides, which are covalently linked via two disulfide bonds to form insulin, and C-peptide. Binding of insulin to the insulin receptor (INSR) stimulates glucose uptake. A multitude of mutant alleles with phenotypic effects have been identified. [RefSeq]
• Species/Host: Mouse

• Purity: Protein G affinity chromatography
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Formula: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Hazard Information: This Insulin antibody is available for research use only.
• UniProt ID: P01308
• Storage: Store the Insulin antibody at 2-8°C (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20°C or colder (without azide).
• Buffer/Preservatives: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml rAlbumin (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: Optimal dilution of the Insulin antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
• Expiration Date: 12 months from date of receipt.
