Anti-PIWIL4 Antibody - Identical to Abcam (ab180867)

This rabbit polyclonal IgG primary antibody from Antibodies.com recognizes PIWIL4 (HIWI2; Miwi2), an Argonaute-family protein associated with small-RNA-directed transposon silencing, germline maintenance, and stem-cell self-renewal.

The unconjugated reagent is supplied as a 200 µl aliquot for Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. Reactivity to human, mouse, and rat PIWIL4 supports protein-expression and localization studies in cell lysates, tissue sections, and cultured-cell preparations, including developmental, germline, stem-cell, and cancer research; PIWIL4 dysregulation has been reported in gastric, breast, and glioma cancers.

Because it is unconjugated, the antibody can be paired with an HRP-, biotin-, or fluorophore-conjugated secondary chosen for the laboratory's detection strategy. For handling, prepare working aliquots on arrival, refrigerate, and limit repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Positive and negative controls and assay-specific dilution optimization support more reliable interpretation of PIWIL4 abundance and localization.
