Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (gene Fdps) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 40.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 38 kDa.
Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FDPS) is a key enzyme of the mevalonate pathway that produces farnesyl pyrophosphate. This product is the precursor of cholesterol and other sterols, dolichols and ubiquinone, and it is used for protein prenylation. FDPS is the molecular target of nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates and is studied in isoprenoid metabolism and bone biology.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat liver tissue, rat PC-12 cells, mouse liver tissue, mouse ovary tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% 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.
Immunogen
Recombinant mouse FDPS/FPS fragment (Gln12–Lys347), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with mouse and rat. UniProt places farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase in the cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
