Product Overview
Clone 23A40 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes activin receptor type-1B (gene ACVR1B) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ICC/IF. The predicted molecular weight is 56.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 52 kDa.
Activin receptor type-1B (ACVR1B, ALK4) is a type I serine/threonine kinase receptor that, with ACVR2A or ACVR2B, transmits activin and related signals by phosphorylating SMAD2 and SMAD3. It is involved in development, reproductive hormone control and cell growth regulation.

Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human ACVR1B.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places activin receptor type-1B in the cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in many tissues, most strongly in kidney, pancreas, brain, lung, and liver. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
