Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody detects peptide deformylase, mitochondrial (gene PDF) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 27.0 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 25 kDa.
Peptide deformylase (PDF) is a mitochondrial enzyme that strips the N-formyl group from the initiator methionine of proteins made by mitochondrial ribosomes. This processing step is part of mitochondrial protein maturation, and PDF is studied in mitochondrial translation and as a homolog of the bacterial deformylases targeted by some antibiotics.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human MCF-7 cells, human HepG2 cells, rat liver tissue, mouse liver 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, 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.

Immunogen
Recombinant human PDF fragment (His51–Gln199), expressed in E. coli. Sequence identity with the mouse ortholog: 82.4%.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places peptide deformylase, mitochondrial in the mitochondrion. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitous. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
