Product Overview
Clone BCI-5 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 (gene ERBB2) in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 137.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 185 kDa.
HER2 (ERBB2) is a receptor tyrosine kinase of the EGFR family that has no known ligand of its own but is the preferred partner for other ErbB receptors. Heterodimers containing HER2 signal strongly through MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways. HER2 amplification drives a subset of breast and gastric cancers, making it one of the most studied oncology targets.

Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): rat stomach tissue, human breast carcinoma tissue, human esophageal carcinoma tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): SKBR cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human erbB2 (HER2).
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 in the cell membrane and cell projection. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in a variety of tumor tissues including primary breast tumors and tumors from small bowel, esophagus, kidney and mouth. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
