Anti-GDF-9 Antibody

This affinity-purified reagent from Antibodies.com is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against GDF-9 (Growth Differentiation Factor 9), a member of the TGF-β superfamily implicated in ovarian folliculogenesis and female fertility. The immunogen is a synthetic peptide derived from the C-terminal region of human GDF-9, and the antibody was purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using the epitope-specific immunogen, ensuring selective recognition of endogenous GDF-9 protein. Supplied as a 50 µl liquid formulation in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide, the stock is provided at a concentration of approximately 1 mg/mL in an unconjugated format, ready for direct labelling or use in standard immunoassays. The host species is rabbit and the clonality is polyclonal, supporting broad epitope coverage on the target. Validated for Western blot (WB) applications, the reagent has been confirmed to cross-react with human, mouse and rat samples, making it a versatile choice for comparative studies across mammalian models. For best stability, the product is shipped at 4°C and should be aliquoted upon arrival and stored at -20°C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve antibody integrity. Suitable for research use only, it is intended for laboratory investigators studying reproductive biology, oocyte maturation, granulosa cell signalling and related downstream pathways controlled by GDF-9.
