Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects ceruloplasmin (gene Cp) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 121.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 130 kDa.
Ceruloplasmin (CP) is a copper-containing glycoprotein made mainly by the liver and secreted into plasma, where it carries most circulating copper. Its ferroxidase activity converts Fe2+ to Fe3+, allowing iron loading onto transferrin, so it is studied in copper and iron metabolism and in Wilson disease.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat liver tissue, mouse liver tissue, mouse HEPA1–6 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): rat brain tissue, mouse brain tissue.
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
Recombinant mouse Ceruloplasmin fragment (Arg20–Met258), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the human and rat orthologs: 80.8% and 91.2%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt describes ceruloplasmin as a secreted protein. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (mouse): Expressed in many tissues, including liver, eye and brain. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
