Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes transmembrane O-methyltransferase (gene TOMT) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 32.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 28 kDa.
Transmembrane O-methyltransferase (TOMT, also called LRTOMT) is related to catechol-O-methyltransferase and can methylate catecholamines. It is required for hearing, because it helps deliver the mechanotransduction channel proteins TMC1 and TMC2 to the stereocilia of cochlear hair cells. TOMT mutations cause autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 1–2 µg/mL (Human, Mouse, Rat) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human placenta tissue, human MCF-7 cells, human HeLa cells, human Caco-2 cells, human K562 cells, human U2OS cells, human THP-1 cells, rat brain tissue, rat ovarian tissue, rat heart tissue, rat lung tissue, mouse brain tissue, mouse lung 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): human placenta tissue, human lung cancer tissue, mouse brain tissue, rat brain 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).
