Anti-PIWIL1 Antibody

Raised in rabbit as a polyclonal IgG preparation, this unconjugated reagent from Antibodies.com is validated for western blot and immunofluorescence workflows and cross-reacts with human, mouse, and rat samples. PIWIL1 (also called HIWI) belongs to the PIWI clade of Argonaute proteins, partnering with piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) to silence transposable elements and maintain germline integrity, and it is widely studied for its role in spermatogenesis, stem-cell self-renewal, and the stem-like behaviour of certain tumor cells. Each vial contains 50 µl of antibody, supporting multiple immunoblots or staining protocols. Researchers characterizing endogenous protein levels and subcellular localization of PIWIL1 in seminoma, gastric, breast, and colorectal cancer models, as well as in germ-cell and developmental biology systems, rely on this reagent to detect the target across a range of lysate and tissue preparations.
