Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 9 (gene MED9) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ELISA, flow cytometry, ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 16.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 19 kDa.
MED9 is a subunit of the middle module of the Mediator complex, the large coactivator that conveys signals from transcription factors to RNA polymerase II. It contributes to Mediator′s structural organization, and it is studied as part of the core transcription machinery.

Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): MCF-7 cells.
Immunogen
Recombinant human MED9 fragment (Ala55–Glu146), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 9 in the nucleus. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
