Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects DNA mismatch repair protein Msh6 in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 152.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 160 kDa.
MSH6 is a DNA mismatch repair protein that pairs with MSH2 to form MutSα, the main sensor of single-base mismatches and small insertion-deletion loops after DNA replication. Loss of MSH6 impairs mismatch repair, and germline mutations are one cause of Lynch syndrome.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human K562 cells, human HeLa cells, human 293T cells, human HepG2 cells, human A549- WT cells, human A549-MSH6 KO cells, rat RH-35 cells, mouse NIH/3T3 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 8% 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 ovarican 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).
Samples with confirmed staining (ICC/IF): A549 cells.
Samples with a confirmed signal (flow cytometry): HepG2 cells.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human MSH6. Sequence identity with the mouse and rat orthologs: 100% and 85.7%, respectively.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places DNA mismatch repair protein Msh6 in the nucleus and chromosome. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
