Product Overview
Clone BA-4 is a mouse monoclonal antibody that recognizes elastin (gene ELN) in bovine and human samples and is validated for IHC.
Elastin (ELN) is the main protein of elastic fibers, giving tissues such as large arteries, lungs and skin the ability to stretch and recoil. It is secreted as tropoelastin and cross-linked outside cells, and ELN defects cause supravalvular aortic stenosis and cutis laxa.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
