Anti-MITF Antibody

Sourced from the Antibodies.com catalog of validated research reagents, this Rabbit polyclonal reagent is raised against the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor and is supplied as an unconjugated primary antibody. The offering is presented in a 50 µl liquid format at 1 mg/ml, prepared in PBS with 0.1% Sodium Azide and 50% Glycerol as a cryoprotective buffer; the glycerol-containing formulation is intended for storage at –20 °C in small aliquots to limit freeze–thaw cycles. The reagent is recommended for Western Blot (WB) detection of endogenous MITF and has been validated for reactivity against Human, Mouse and Rat samples, making it suitable for comparative work across these three species. Being a polyclonal raised in Rabbit, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target and provides robust signal where a single-epitope reagent might fail, while the unconjugated format allows end users to pair it with their preferred HRP, fluorophore or biotin secondary antibody of choice. Routine applications include confirmation of MITF expression in melanocyte-lineage and melanoma cell line lysates, as well as characterization of transcription factor levels in pigment-cell and developmental biology studies. Quality-control data published on the supplier's product page confirm specificity for the MITF target with affinity purification, and the product is shipped on blue ice from the Antibodies.com logistics hubs in St Louis (MO, USA), Cambridge (UK) and Stockholm (SE) to laboratories worldwide.
