Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes emerin (gene EMD) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for flow cytometry, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 29.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 34 kDa.
Emerin (EMD) is an inner nuclear membrane protein of the LEM-domain family that binds lamins, BAF and nuclear actin. It helps organize the nuclear envelope, links centrosomes to the nucleus and restrains nuclear β-catenin signaling. Loss of emerin causes X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, so it is widely studied in nuclear mechanics and laminopathies.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, human 293T cells, rat NRK cells, rat C6 cells, mouse NIH/3T3 cells, mouse Neuro-2a 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): human endometrial carcinoma tissue, human colon cancer tissue, human oesophagus squama cancer 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 citrate buffer (pH 6).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): U2OS cells.
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): human oesophagus squama cancer tissue, human lung cancer tissue.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): U2OS cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of human emerin. It differs from the mouse sequence at eight residues and from the rat sequence at nine residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places emerin in the nucleus inner membrane, nucleoplasmic side and nucleus outer membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Skeletal muscle, heart, colon, testis, ovary and pancreas. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
