Background

This antibody is suitable for Cancer Research and drug resistance. It has been found that ABC transporters are involved in mulitdrug resistance through their ability to control the presence of drugs in cells. Multidrug resistance is currently being looked at in particular reference to cancer that is resistant to treatment. ABCB8 seems to have particularly high resistance rates in renal cancer and cancer of the central nervous system. Another significant aspect of ABCB8 is that it is a mitochondrial transporter. There are very few ABC transporters localized to the mitochondria which implies information about them could be extremely important. ABCB8 may also be localized to other parts of the cell which are yet to be determined. Anti-ABCB8 antibody is ideal for researchers interested in Cancer Research and drug resistance.

Synonyms

ABCB8, ATP-binding cassette sub-family B member 8 mitochondrial, Mitochondrial ATP-binding cassette 1, M-ABC1, ABCB-8, ABCB

Gene Name

ABCB8

UniProt

Q9NUT2

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human

Immunogen

ABCB8 was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to a internal portion of human ABCB8.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Applications

ELISA, WB

Field of Research

ATPases, Cancer, Metabolism, Plasma Membrane, Signal Transduction

Purification

Anti-ABCB8 Antibody was prepared from monospecific, delipidated and defibrinated antiserum, with addition of sodium azide to 0.01%. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with ABCB8 from human, mouse, and rat based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known. The antibody detects ABCB8 in cell lysates.
