Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes importin-9 (gene IPO9) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 116.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 120 kDa.
Importin-9 (IPO9) is a nuclear transport receptor of the importin-beta family. It recognizes nuclear localization signals and carries cargo such as histones, ribosomal proteins and actin into the nucleus through the nuclear pore complex, with release controlled by Ran-GTP.

Immunogen
Recombinant human IPO9 fragment (Gln37–Ile1041), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 99%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places importin-9 in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
