Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes insulin-degrading enzyme (gene IDE) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, flow cytometry, IHC, ICC/IF and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 118.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 118 kDa.
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a zinc metalloprotease that cleaves insulin and a range of other short peptides, including glucagon, amylin and amyloid-β. Its large internal chamber lets it capture and degrade small substrates, and it is studied in glucose homeostasis, type 2 diabetes and amyloid clearance in the brain.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HepG2 cells, human Caco-2 cells, 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, 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 mammary cancer tissue, rat pancreas 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).
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): HeLa cells, Caco-2 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human IDE fragment (Phe485–Lys756), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt describes insulin-degrading enzyme as secreted and also located in the cytoplasm and cell membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Detected in brain and in cerebrospinal fluid (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
