Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets cryptochrome-2 (gene CRY2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 66.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 67 kDa.
Cryptochrome-2 (CRY2) is a flavoprotein repressor of the circadian clock that partners with PER proteins to inhibit CLOCK–BMAL1 transcriptional activity. Together with CRY1 it sustains roughly 24-hour rhythms in gene expression and is studied in circadian biology and metabolism.

Validated Applications
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat, Human) |
|---|---|
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat testis tissue, rat brain tissue, mouse brain tissue, 22RV1 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 liver tissue, mouse kidney 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
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of human CRY2. It differs from the mouse and rat sequences at five residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places cryptochrome-2 in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in all tissues examined including fetal brain, fibroblasts, heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon and leukocytes. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
