Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 124.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 170 kDa.
RET is a receptor tyrosine kinase activated by GDNF-family ligands (GDNF, neurturin, artemin and persephin), which bind GFRα co-receptors and then engage RET. RET signaling is essential for kidney development and the enteric nervous system. Loss-of-function mutations cause Hirschsprung disease, while activating mutations and fusions drive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 and some thyroid and lung cancers.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL |
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human THP-1 cells, human HL-60 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, 50 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 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human colon cancer tissue, human mammary cancer tissue, mouse intestine tissue, rat intestine tissue, mouse brain tissue, rat brain 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 citrate buffer (pH 6).
Immunogen
Recombinant human RET fragment (Leu29–Val304), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret in the cell membrane and endosome membrane. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
