Overview
Protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 15B Antibody / PPP1R15B is an antibody targeting PPP1R15B, raised in Rabbit for protein detection and localization studies where these specifications are required.
Key elements and design rationale
- Target: PPP1R15B.
- Antibody identity: Polyclonal (rabbit origin); Rabbit IgG.
- Conjugate/label: Unconjugated (affects detection chemistry and multiplex compatibility).
- Format: Antigen affinity purified.
- Species reactivity: Human.
- Listed applications: WB, FACS, Direct ELISA (refer to on-page specifications for application-specific guidance).
Biological background
PPP1R15B (Protein phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 15b), also called CREP, promotes dephosphorylation of the transcription initiation factor EIF2-alpha through recruitment of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) catalytic subunits. The PPP1R15B gene is mapped to chromosome 1q32.1 based on an alignment of the PPP1R15B sequence by Hartz(2010). Harding et al.(2009) obtained Ppp1r15b -/- mice at a mendelian ratio. However, Ppp1r15b -/- newborns were half the size of their wildtype littermates, were notably pale, and failed to nurse, and none survived the first day of postnatal life. Ppp1r15b -/- embryos that were also homozygous for an Eif2-alpha mutation that prevented Eif2-alpha phosphorylation were normalized, including elevated birth size and restored red blood cell count, compared with Ppp1r15b -/- embryos with wildtype Eif2-alpha.
Research relevance and current trends
- Comparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).
- Subcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.
- Integration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- Flow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
- ELISA: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative/positive controls for interpretation.
Interpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms and PTMs: many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands/signals accordingly.
- Epitope context: binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.
- Species differences: predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.
- Control concepts: include negative controls (no-primary/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.
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).
