Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets T-complex protein 1 subunit alpha (gene TCP1) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for ICC/IF, IHC and Western blot. The predicted molecular weight is 60.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 60 kDa.
TCP1 (CCT1) is the alpha subunit of the chaperonin TRiC (also called CCT), an ATP-driven, ring-shaped complex that folds actin, tubulin and many other cytosolic proteins. As part of TRiC it also supports telomerase trafficking through TCAB1 and BBSome assembly, and it is studied in protein homeostasis and cancer.

Immunogen
Synthetic peptide from the C-terminal region of human TCP1. It differs from the mouse sequence at one residue and from the rat sequence at two residues.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places T-complex protein 1 subunit alpha in the cytoplasm. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
