Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects growth hormone-inducible transmembrane protein (gene GHITM) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 37.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 37 kDa.
GHITM (also called TMBIM5) is an inner mitochondrial membrane protein that helps shape mitochondria and organize their cristae. It exchanges ions across the inner membrane, moving Ca2+ or K+ in return for protons, and it restrains the mitochondrial protease AFG3L2, so it is studied in mitochondrial ion balance, respiration and apoptosis.

| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HeLa cells, human 293T cells, human SH-SY5Y cells, rat testis tissue, mouse testis tissue, mouse liver 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 a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): A431 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human GHITM fragment (Met1–Lys345), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places growth hormone-inducible transmembrane protein in the mitochondrion inner membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
