Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor (gene Plaur) in mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 35.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 50 kDa.
The urokinase receptor (uPAR, CD87) is a GPI-anchored cell surface receptor that binds uPA and focuses plasminogen activation at the cell surface. It also binds vitronectin and signals through integrins, so it coordinates proteolysis, adhesion and migration, and it is studied in inflammation, cancer invasion and kidney disease.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): rat brain tissue, rat heart tissue, rat C6 cells, mouse brain tissue, mouse thymus tissue, mouse heart tissue, mouse RAW264.7 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% 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.
