Anti-FUK Antibody

Fucokinase (FUK) is a sugar kinase that catalyzes the phosphorylation of L-fucose in the GDP-fucose salvage pathway, supporting cellular fucose recycling and the generation of GDP-fucose used in protein glycosylation. This unconjugated rabbit polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is raised against FUK and validated for western blot detection in human, rat, and mouse samples, making it a useful reagent for studies of fucose metabolism, glycosylation biology, and related metabolic pathways.

The antibody is supplied as 100 µl of liquid at approximately 1 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.05% sodium azide, at pH around 7.3. Researchers can use this polyclonal reagent to probe endogenous FUK expression across multiple species, comparing tissue-specific or cell-type-specific levels in their western blot workflows and supporting consistent band detection in lysate samples.

For best results, store refrigerated, handle on ice, and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve binding activity. The unconjugated format allows flexible secondary antibody selection for chemiluminescent or fluorescent western blot readouts, and the rabbit host reactivity supports broad compatibility with common anti-rabbit detection reagents.
