Anti-OCA2 Antibody

Targeting the OCA2 melanosomal transporter, this rabbit polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is raised against the human P protein and validated for Western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows on human samples. The unconjugated format gives laboratories flexibility to pair the antibody with their own secondary detection systems, including HRP, fluorophore, or biotin conjugates chosen for the specific assay. The polyclonal nature of the reagent provides recognition of multiple epitopes on OCA2, which can improve signal when working with denatured lysates for Western blot or fixed tissue sections for IHC staining. OCA2 itself localizes to melanosomes and participates in tyrosinase trafficking and melanin biosynthesis, so the antibody is commonly applied in pigmentation biology studies, oculocutaneous albinism research, and melanoma investigations where melanosomal protein expression is being characterized. Supplied as 100 µl of liquid, the reagent should be handled according to standard polyclonal antibody storage practice to preserve activity across repeated use.
