Overview
JAB1 Antibody / Jun activation domain-binding protein 1 / COPS5 is a research-use-only Rabbit polyclonal (rabbit origin) Rabbit IgG directed against JAB1 / Jun activation domain-binding protein 1 / COPS5. It is supplied for interpretation-focused detection and comparative profiling in WB, IHC, IF, IP, FACS. Reported localization context: Nuclear and cytoplasmic.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target context: This antibody is raised against Amino acids 8-334 of human JAB1 were used as the immunogen for the JAB1 antibody.. Epitope context matters because isoforms, processing, and post-translational modifications can change what is accessible in a given assay.
- Format: Antigen affinity purified. Format influences background and compatibility with different detection chemistries; conjugated formats (when present) can simplify multiplexing and reduce reliance on secondary reagents.
- Species reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat. Cross-species performance can vary with sequence divergence and epitope conservation, so interpretation should be anchored with appropriate biological controls.
- Localization: Nuclear and cytoplasmic. Subcellular compartment context can help guide expectations in imaging assays and informs fractionation-based comparisons in lysate workflows.
- Applications: WB, IHC, IF, IP, FACS. These indicate assay contexts where the antibody is commonly applied; actual performance depends on sample type and processing.
Polyclonal reagents can differ in how they recognize epitope features. Monoclonal antibodies often provide more consistent epitope targeting across lots, while polyclonal preparations may broaden recognition across related epitope variants.
Biological background
JAB1 / Jun activation domain-binding protein 1 / COPS5 refers to the gene/protein target stated in the product record. Protein targets can exhibit context-dependent expression, regulated turnover, isoform diversity, and post-translational modifications that affect apparent molecular weight and epitope accessibility.

Research relevance and current trends
- Integrating antibody-based detection with single-cell and spatial atlasing efforts to connect RNA programs with protein-level abundance and localization in defined cell states.
- Expanding multiplexed imaging and high-content screening, where reagent specificity, cross-reactivity risk, and channel design (including direct conjugates) become central to interpretation.
- Growing emphasis on reproducibility and application-specific validation frameworks (e.g., genetic perturbation controls, orthogonal measurements, and independent antibody strategies) when drawing mechanistic conclusions.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): commonly used to compare relative abundance/size (e.g., band intensity or mobility shifts) between conditions.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): commonly used to compare tissue- and cell-type–specific expression patterns in situ.
- Immunofluorescence (IF): commonly used to compare subcellular localization patterns and redistribution across stimuli or phenotypes.
- Immunoprecipitation (IP): commonly used to compare enrichment of the target for downstream analysis or complex interrogation.
- FACS: commonly used for qualitative/quantitative detection where compatible with the assay context.
Interpretation typically focuses on relative differences (presence/absence, fold-changes, compartment shifts, or population-level shifts) rather than absolute quantitation. When signal changes are observed, they may reflect altered expression, altered localization/trafficking, changes in modification state, or differences in sample composition; orthogonal readouts and appropriate controls help distinguish these possibilities.
Application details (record-specific): Western blot: 0.5-1ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 2-5ug/ml,Immunofluorescence: 5ug/ml,Immunoprecipitation: 2ug per 500ug of lysate,Flow cytometry: 1-3ug/million cells
Application notes (record-specific): Optimal dilution of the JAB1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Product description (record-specific): COP9 constitutive photomorphogenic homolog subunit 5 (Arabidopsis), also known as COPS5 or JAB1, is a gene conserved from humans to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is a member of the MOV34 family. COPS5 is mapped to 8q13.1. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the eight subunits of COP9 signalosome, a highly conserved protein complex that functions as an important regulator in multiple signaling pathways. COPS5 can interact with the cytoplasmic domain of the beta-2 subunit of the alpha-L/beta-2 integrin LFA1, and it is the only protein demonstrated to interact with MIF. COPS5, VHL, and TRC8 proteins appear to be linked both physically and functionally, and all 3 may participate in the development of kidney cancer. In addition to that, COPS5 is an essential cofactor for the apoptotic function of E2F1.
- Potential confounders: isoforms, proteolytic processing, and PTMs can change epitope presentation and apparent size; fixation/denaturation state can also expose or mask epitopes. Species differences near the epitope may affect cross-reactivity.
- Control concepts: include genetic perturbation (KO/KD) or overexpression comparisons, orthogonal measurement (e.g., transcript or proteomics), and independent antibody/epitope strategies. For conjugated reagents, include staining-only/background controls appropriate to the detection chemistry.
Immunogen/epitope context is described as: Amino acids 8-334 of human JAB1 were used as the immunogen for the JAB1 antibody.. Monoclonal and polyclonal formats differ in epitope breadth; this can influence sensitivity to sequence variants, isoforms, or PTM-dependent recognition.
