A 1:1000 dilution of SMC-263 was sufficient for detection of N-terminal Arginylation in 0.5 ug of N-terminal Arginine peptide conjugated to BSA by ECL immunoblot analysis using goat anti-mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.
WB (1:1000); FCM (1:50); optimal dilutions for assays should be determined by the user.
Purification
Protein G Purified
Scientific Background
Protein arginylation is the post-translational addition of arginine to proteins by arginyltransferase ATE1. Arginylation of proteins has been found to play an essential role in physiological pathways during embryogenesis and adulthood (1). Arginylation has also been shown to regulate cell stress responses, including ER stress, cytosolic misfolded proteins, and heat stress (2).
