Overview
Glycophorin A Antibody / GYPA is an antibody targeting Glycophorin. Host: Mouse. Monoclonal. Clone: rGYPA/8948. Format: Purified. Applications: IHC-P.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: Glycophorin.
- Immunogen: A recombinant fragment of human glycophorin A protein was used as the immunogen for the Glycophorin A antibody..
- Species reactivity: Human.
- Localization: Cytoplasmic, membranous.
- Conjugate: Unconjugated (no label listed).
Biological background (from provided description)
Recognizes a sialoglycoprotein of 39kDa, identified as glycophorin A (GPA). It is present on red blood cells (RBC) and erythroid precursor cells. It has been shown that glycophorin acts as the receptor for Sandei virus and parvovirus. Glycophorins A (GPA) and B (GPB), which are single, trans-membrane sialoglycoproteins.
Common research applications
- IHC: tissue distribution assessment; interpret with matched controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, paralogs, and post-translational modifications when interpreting signal.
- Support specificity with biological controls (e.g., KO/KD where available) and technical controls (e.g., secondary-only/isotype).
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).
