Anti-PKP2 Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this rabbit polyclonal reagent targets plakophilin-2 (PKP2), a key component of desmosomal structures that has been extensively studied in cardiac and epithelial biology. The antibody is supplied as an unconjugated IgG preparation at a concentration of 1.0 mg/mL, and the catalogue offers it in a 50 µL aliquot (with a 100 µL format also available for researchers needing larger volumes). It was raised against a recombinant human PKP2 immunogen and affinity-purified to deliver specificity for the endogenous total PKP2 protein. Validated applications include Western blotting (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence (ICC/IF), and the reagent has been confirmed to react with human, mouse, and rat samples, making it suitable for cross-species studies. The antibody is provided in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) containing 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide, and 50% glycerol, and is shipped at 4 °C; for long-term use it should be aliquoted and stored at –20 °C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve activity. For research use only, this polyclonal PKP2 antibody from Antibodies.com is a versatile tool for laboratories investigating desmosome assembly, cardiomyocyte junctions, and related signalling pathways.
