Product Overview
Clone 22V90 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 18 homolog (gene VPS18) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, ICC/IF and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 110.2 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 100 kDa.
VPS18 is a core subunit of the HOPS and CORVET tethering complexes, which bring endosomal and lysosomal membranes together and help SNARE proteins fuse them. It supports delivery of endocytic and autophagic cargo to lysosomes and is studied in membrane trafficking.

Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human VPS18.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 18 homolog in the late endosome membrane, lysosome membrane and early endosome. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitous. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
