Anti-Myosin-8 Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this affinity-purified polyclonal reagent is raised in rabbit against the Myosin-8 target (MYH8, also known as MyHC-perinatal), a member of the myosin heavy chain family implicated in skeletal muscle perinatal isoforms. The unconjugated antibody is supplied as a 50 µl aliquot at 1 mg/ml in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.05% sodium azide at approximately pH 7.2, and is validated for Western blot (WB) applications. Immunogen design corresponds to a synthetic peptide based on the human MYH8 sequence, and the reagent detects endogenous levels of MYH8 protein with a predicted molecular weight of approximately 223 kDa. Clonality is polyclonal with IgG isotype, and the host species is rabbit, ensuring compatibility with the broad range of rabbit-specific secondary reagents offered by Antibodies.com for chromogenic, fluorescent, and HRP-based detection. Reactivity has been demonstrated in human, mouse, and rat samples, supporting use across the most common experimental model systems. Purity is reported to exceed 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE following affinity-chromatography on epitope-specific immunogen, which minimises non-specific binding and improves signal-to-noise in downstream blotting assays. The product is intended for research use only and is shipped from St. Louis, MO with a typical lead time of 7–10 business days. For best results, the vial should be stored refrigerated at 2–8 °C in the short term and aliquoted for long-term storage at -20 °C, avoiding repeated freeze/thaw cycles of the sodium azide-preserved buffer.
