Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes protein Mdm4 in human and mouse samples and is validated for IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 54.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 75 kDa.
MDM4 (also called MDMX) is a close relative of MDM2 that binds p53 and inhibits its transcriptional activity. MDM4 lacks strong ligase activity of its own but forms heterodimers with MDM2 that enhance p53 degradation. It is overexpressed in a number of cancers and is studied as a regulator of p53 and a potential cancer target.

Validated Applications
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human) |
|---|---|
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human, Mouse) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): mouse testis tissue, 22RV1 cells.
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 lung cancer 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 EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the N-terminal region of human MDMX. It differs from the mouse sequence at two residues and from the rat sequence at three residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human and mouse. UniProt places protein Mdm4 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in all tissues tested with high levels in thymus. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
