Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-4 (gene ERBB4) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 146.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 180 kDa.
HER4 (ERBB4) is an EGFR-family receptor tyrosine kinase activated by neuregulins and some EGF-family ligands. It is needed for normal development of the heart, nervous system and mammary gland, and its cleaved intracellular domain can move to the nucleus to regulate gene expression.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.25–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 2–5 µg/mL (Human) |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human MCF-7 cells, rat brain tissue, rat PC-12 cells, mouse brain tissue.
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 colon adenocarcinoma tissue, human pancreas ductal adenocarcinoma tissue, human placenta tissue, human urothelial carcinoma 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
Recombinant human ERBB4 fragment (Glu1231–Lys1291), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-4 in the cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed at highest levels in brain, heart, kidney, in addition to skeletal muscle, parathyroid, cerebellum, pituitary, spleen, testis and breast. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

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).
