Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects coatomer subunit epsilon (gene COPE) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for flow cytometry, immunoprecipitation, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 34.5 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 34 kDa.
COPE is the ε subunit of coatomer, the cytosolic complex that assembles COPI coats on Golgi membranes. COPI vesicles return proteins bearing dilysine motifs from the Golgi to the endoplasmic reticulum and move cargo between Golgi cisternae, so COPE is studied in secretory pathway and membrane trafficking research.

Immunogen
Recombinant human COPE fragment (Glu80–Ala308), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 89.5%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places coatomer subunit epsilon in the cytoplasm and Golgi apparatus membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
