ACOT8 Antibody, FITC conjugated

Overview

This is a polyclonal anti-ACOT8 antibody raised in Rabbit, conjugated with FITC. It is designed to detect ACOT8 protein in Human and supports researchers working in tags & cell markers contexts.

Key elements and design rationale

• Immunogen: Recombinant Human Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8 protein (1-200AA) — determines the epitope region; confirm compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
• Host species (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary reagents for indirect detection.
• Polyclonal format: Recognizes multiple epitopes for robust signal; inherent lot-to-lot variability requires appropriate controls.
• Isotype (IgG): Matched secondary antibodies and isotype controls required. Compatible with standard Protein A/G purification workflows.
• Purification (Antigen affinity purification): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes; reduces non-specific background vs. crude antisera.
• FITC conjugate: Direct fluorescence (Ex ~490/Em ~525 nm). Protect from light; use antifade reagents for slide-based applications.

Biological background

ACOT8 (also referred to as ACOT8, ACTEIII, PTE1, Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 8, Acyl-CoA thioesterase 8, EC 3.1.2.1, EC 3.1.2.11, EC 3.1.2.2, EC 3.1.2.3, EC 3.1.2.5, Choloyl-coenzyme A thioesterase, EC 3.1.2.27, HIV-Nef-associated acyl-CoA thioesterase, Peroxisomal acyl-CoA thioesterase 2, PTE-2, Peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A thioester hydrolase 1, PTE-1, Peroxisomal long-chain acyl-CoA thioesterase 1, Thioesterase II, hACTE-III, hACTEIII, hTE) is a protein target studied in Human systems. Expression, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types and disease states — factors critical to antibody-based detection design. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of ACOT8 biology in tags & cell markers.

Common research applications

• Refer to product documentation for confirmed application data.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG from Rabbit) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
• Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal preparations may cross-react with related proteins. Orthogonal validation (siRNA, KO lysate) is recommended.
• Matrix effects: Sample matrix can affect performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are advised for quantitative studies.
• Species reactivity: Confirmed for Human. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.

This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
