Product Overview
PRPF18 polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of PRPF18 protein.
PRPF18 (pre-mRNA-splicing factor 18), also known as HPRP18, is a 342 amino acid protein that localizes to nuclear speckles and plays a role in the second step of pre-mRNA splicing. A member of the PRP18 family, PRPF18 contains seven WD repeats and exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms which are encoded by a gene located on human chromosome 10p13. Chromosome 10 contains over 800 genes and 135 million nucleotides. PTEN is an important tumor suppressor gene located on chromosome 10 and, when defective, causes a genetic predisposition to cancer development known as Cowden syndrome.

This antibody has been validated for WB, ICC. Always refer to the product datasheet for recommended dilution ranges and appropriate positive control samples for each application type.
Validated reactivity has been confirmed for Human, Mouse, Rat. Cross-reactivity with additional species may exist based on sequence homology but has not been confirmed by the manufacturer. For unlisted species, we recommend running a preliminary validation experiment.
This antibody was raised in Rabbit. For indirect detection (WB, IHC, IF), select an anti-Rabbit secondary antibody that matches the isotype. For direct detection, check the variant selector for conjugated formats. Confirm secondary antibody compatibility before ordering.

Please refer to the storage conditions on the product label and datasheet. As a general best practice: upon receipt, aliquot into single-use volumes to minimize freeze-thaw cycling, which can progressively reduce antibody performance and lead to aggregation.
Validated reactivity covers Human, Mouse, Rat samples. Performance can vary across different cell lines and tissue types depending on target antigen expression levels and epitope accessibility. We recommend verifying target expression in your specific model system using a known positive control before proceeding to experimental samples.
