Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes formin-1 (gene FMN1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 157.6 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 158 kDa.
Formin-1 (FMN1) is a member of the formin family of actin nucleators that promote the assembly of linear actin filaments. It is involved in forming adherens junctions and actin cables, and it is studied in cell adhesion and limb development.

Validated Applications
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat, Human) |
|---|---|
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Mouse, Rat, Human) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat brain tissue, 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, 50 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 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): mouse testis tissue, rat testis 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).
Immunogen
Recombinant human FMN1 fragment (Asn1195–Asn1419), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 93.8%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places formin-1 in the nucleus, cytoplasm, cell junction and cell membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
