Overview
Recombinant PTEN antibody supplied as a purified reagent for WB, IHC in Human samples. This product is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody (host: Rabbit; isotype: Rabbit IgG) intended for research use only.
Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody identity: Recombinant Rabbit Monoclonal; host Rabbit; isotype Rabbit IgG; clone RM265.
- Format and purification: format: Purified; purity: Protein A purified from animal origin-free supernatant.
- Species reactivity (reported): Human.
- Applications (listed): WB, IHC.
- Immunogen / epitope context: A peptide corresponding to the C-terminus of human PTEN was used as the immunogen for this recombinant PTEN antibody..
These attributes help you align the antibody with the biological question (target state, sample type, and readout) while keeping interpretation grounded in appropriate controls.
Biological background
Recombinant PTEN is the intended antigen for this primary antibody. Reported biological context includes: This recombinant PTEN antibody reacts to human Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase and has dual-specificity to protein phosphatase PTEN. It may also react to mouse PTEN, as predicted by immunogen homology.
Research relevance and current trends
- Signal-flow and turnover studies: researchers pair immunodetection with perturbations that modulate enzymatic activity or proteostasis to understand regulation, stability, and feedback.
- Spatial and single-cell approaches: imaging-based and cytometry workflows increasingly quantify heterogeneity and relocalization rather than only bulk abundance.
- Interaction-centric biology: IP-based enrichment and proteomics are widely used to define complexes, binding partners, and context-specific interactomes.
Common research applications
- Western blot (WB): compare relative abundance/isoform patterns across conditions and sample types; band shifts may reflect processing or post-translational modification.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): profile tissue and cell-type distribution in fixed specimens and evaluate spatial heterogeneity in expression.
Across these readouts, differences in signal intensity, localization, or complex enrichment are typically interpreted alongside sample-matched controls and independent evidence to distinguish regulation from technical variation.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isoforms, cleavage products, or post-translational modifications can alter apparent molecular weight and subcellular distribution; interpret bands and staining patterns in the context of expected biology and sample preparation.
- Species differences and epitope conservation may affect binding; use matched positive controls and orthogonal evidence when comparing across organisms.
- Control concepts: include appropriate isotype and secondary-only controls (for imaging), and consider genetic perturbations (knockout/knockdown/overexpression) or independent antibodies targeting distinct epitopes to strengthen conclusions.
Epitope context is defined by the immunogen description; when available, align this with known domains, PTM sites, or family homology to anticipate potential cross-reactivity patterns. As a monoclonal antibody, binding is driven by a single epitope, which can support consistent recognition but may be sensitive to epitope masking by PTMs or conformational changes.
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).
