Anti-EF-Tu (L338) Antibody

Rabbit polyclonal antibodies targeting Elongation Factor Tu (EF-Tu) from Antibodies.com are validated for Western blot and immunohistochemistry applications. EF-Tu is a highly conserved GTP-binding translation factor that delivers aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal A-site during protein synthesis; in mammalian systems it corresponds to the mitochondrial isoform TUFM.

Each vial contains 100 µl at 1 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 0.05% sodium azide at approximately pH 7.2. The unconjugated format allows flexible pairing with HRP- or fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies. This polyclonal reagent has been validated for reactivity with Human, Mouse, and Rat samples, supporting translational and comparative biology research.

Aliquot upon receipt to minimise freeze-thaw cycling, store refrigerated, and protect from light for long-term preservation. Research applications include probing mitochondrial translation, characterising ribosome recycling in cell lysates, and screening tissue sections for changes in translational factor expression.
