Anti-PODN Antibody

This rabbit polyclonal IgG reagent from Antibodies.com targets podocan (PODN), a small leucine-rich repeat proteoglycan that contributes to extracellular matrix organization in renal, vascular, and cartilaginous tissues. Provided as 100 µL of unconjugated antiserum in a single-use vial, the antibody is validated for Western blot applications on human samples.

PODN has emerged as a marker of interest in studies of glomerular pathology, fibrotic remodeling, and tumor stromal biology, where the polyclonal format offers broader epitope coverage on full-length protein from cell lysates and tissue extracts. Researchers commonly apply it to visualize the proteoglycan band in SDS-PAGE separations of cultured cell or biopsy-derived material.

For routine use, store refrigerated and aliquot on receipt to limit freeze-thaw cycles. Pair with an anti-rabbit IgG secondary for chemiluminescent or near-infrared read-out, and optimize dilution empirically against the chosen lysate preparation.
