Anti-CRABP2 Antibody

Raised in rabbit, this unconjugated polyclonal antibody recognizes cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP2), a roughly 15 kDa intracellular carrier that delivers all-trans retinoic acid to nuclear RAR receptors and shapes RA-dependent transcription. Researchers use CRABP2 reagents to study neural crest and motor neuron patterning, epidermal keratinocyte differentiation, and as a marker in breast, ovarian, and head and neck squamous carcinoma work, where altered expression has been tied to proliferation and metastasis.

Validated for western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence on human, mouse, and rat samples, the reagent is supplied at 1 mg/ml in PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 50% glycerol. The 100 µl volume supports dozens of immunoblots or several hundred tissue sections. The unconjugated format lets each lab pair it with their preferred HRP, Alexa Fluor, or biotin secondary reagents.

Store the vial at -20 °C, aliquoted for single use to limit freeze-thaw cycles and preserve binding activity. This Antibodies.com reagent is intended for research use only.
