Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects protein cup in Fruit fly samples.
In Drosophila, Cup is an eIF4E-binding protein that represses translation of maternal mRNAs in the oocyte and early embryo. By binding eIF4E it blocks recruitment of eIF4G, and it also promotes deadenylation while protecting repressed transcripts from decay. Cup is studied in mRNA localization, such as oskar and nanos, and in germline development.

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).
