Product Overview
Clone 18M12 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes major vault protein (gene MVP) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 99.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 99 kDa.
Major vault protein (MVP) is the main structural component of vaults, very large barrel-shaped ribonucleoprotein particles in the cytoplasm. Many MVP copies assemble into the vault shell, which also contains PARP4, TEP1 and small vault RNAs. Vaults have been linked to transport and signaling, including dampening of interferon-γ/STAT1 signaling, and to drug resistance.

Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places major vault protein in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Present in most normal tissues. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
