Anti-MXRA5 Antibody

Raised in rabbit against MXRA5, an extracellular matrix-remodeling glycoprotein also known as adlican/HYGECAN, this unconjugated polyclonal primary antibody from Antibodies.com is supplied as 100 µl of stock at 1 mg/ml in phosphate-buffered saline (pH ~7.2) with 0.05% sodium azide as preservative. The reagent is validated for Western blot detection of endogenous MXRA5 in human, mouse, and rat samples, supporting tissue-specific expression studies in matrix biology, fibrosis, and adipocyte differentiation research. Its polyclonal format offers epitope diversity across the MXRA5 sequence, which can improve signal recovery on denaturing gels compared with monoclonal reagents. Recommended handling includes a brief centrifugation before opening to recover full volume, aliquoting to limit freeze-thaw cycles, and storage at -20°C in working aliquots for long-term stability; avoid combining directly with HRP conjugates in peroxidase-based detection unless the sodium azide is appropriately quenched.
