Overview
HSP90 alpha/beta Antibody is a research-use antibody directed against HSP90 ALPHA/BETA. It is supplied for use in common immunoassay contexts such as IHC-P, WB, IF (RUO).
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: HSP90 ALPHA/BETA.
- Description (provided): Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is one of the most common of the heat-related proteins.
- Antibody type: Rabbit, clone EBD-8, Rabbit IgG.
- Format: Purified; Affinity purified.
- Reported/predicted localization: Cell membrane, cytoplasmic, nuclear.
- Species reactivity: tested: Human, Mouse, Rat.
- Immunogen (if provided): A synthetic peptide specific to human HSP90 alpha/beta was used as the immunogen for the HSP90 alpha/beta antibody..
The information above helps you match the antibody format to your assay context, interpret species-dependent differences, and anticipate how epitope context (isoforms, PTMs, or conformational state) may influence signal.
Biological background
Heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is one of the most common of the heat-related proteins. Hsp90 is found in bacteria and all branches of eukarya, but it is apparently absent in archaea. Whereas cytoplasmic Hsp90 is essential for viability under all conditions in eukaryotes, the bacterial homologue HtpG is dispensable under non-heat stress conditions. [Wiki]
For curated annotations (gene/protein naming, domains, isoforms, and pathway links) for HSP90 ALPHA/BETA, consult primary databases such as UniProt, NCBI Gene, and Ensembl.
Research relevance and current trends
- Context-dependent expression studies: researchers often examine HSP90 ALPHA/BETA abundance and localization across perturbations (genetic, pharmacologic, or environmental) to connect phenotype to molecular changes.
- Reagent reproducibility: there is growing emphasis on antibody specificity checks using orthogonal approaches (e.g., genetic perturbation or independent antibodies) and transparent reporting of clone/lot information.
- Multi-modal datasets: antibody-based readouts are increasingly combined with transcriptomics and imaging to relate protein-level measurements to cell-state transitions.
Common research applications
- Immunohistochemistry for spatial mapping of target expression across tissues and cell types.
- Western blotting (immunoblot) for relative detection of target protein abundance and apparent molecular weight.
- Immunofluorescence for subcellular localization and cell-type specific expression patterns.
When comparing conditions, interpret changes in signal in the context of sample composition, expected localization, and any known isoform complexity for the target.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: alternative splicing or post-translational modifications can change epitope accessibility and apparent molecular weight; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Cross-reactivity and matrix effects: background binding can vary by sample type, species, and blocking/detection chemistries; include appropriate negative controls.
- Control concepts: where feasible, use genetic perturbation (KO/KD/overexpression), orthogonal assays, or independent antibodies to support specificity claims.
Antibody considerations: Polyclonal reagents may recognize multiple epitopes and can increase sensitivity but may show broader binding profiles, while monoclonal clones provide a single-epitope readout that can improve consistency across experiments. If a conjugate is listed, the antibody supports more direct detection workflows; otherwise, it is typically used with a compatible secondary antibody.
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).
