VCP Antibody

Overview

This polyclonal anti-VCP antibody raised in Rabbit, tested in ELISA, WB, IHC. Designed to detect VCP in Human for neuroscience research.

Key elements and design rationale

• Immunogen: Recombinant Human Transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase protein (704-806AA) — determines epitope; confirm sample prep compatibility.
• Host (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary matching isotype IgG.
• Polyclonal: Multiple epitopes = robust signal; lot-to-lot variability — include controls.
• Isotype (IgG): Match secondary, Protein A/G, and isotype controls to IgG.
• Purification (Protein G purification): Enriches Ig classes; reduces non-specific background.

Biological background

VCP (also: 15S Mg(2+) ATPase p97 subunit, 15S Mg(2+)-ATPase p97 subunit, ALS14, ATPase p97, CDC48, IBMPFD, MGC131997, MGC148092, MGC8560, p97, TER ATPase, TERA, TERA_HUMAN, Transitional endoplasmic reticulum ATPase, Valosin containing protein, Valosin-containing protein, VCP, Yeast Cdc48p homolog) — studied in Human systems. Expression, localization, and PTMs vary across cell types and disease states. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current VCP annotation relevant to neuroscience.

Common research applications

• ELISA: Quantify soluble target; ensure samples within the linear detection range.
• WB: Confirms MW, distinguishes isoforms under denaturing conditions.
• IHC: Tissue expression in FFPE/frozen sections; optimize antigen retrieval.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Isotype controls: IgG from Rabbit at equivalent concentration.
• Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal: validate with KO/KD controls.
• Matrix effects: Verify dilution linearity in your sample matrix.
• Reactivity: Confirmed for Human; extrapolation requires validation.

This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
