Prohibitin Antibody / PHB

This antibody recognizes a protein of 30kDa which is identified as Prohibitin (PHB), an evolutionarily conserved protein with homologues found in yeast to man. It is located in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Although PHB mRNA and protein expression occurs throughout the cell cycle, maximum levels are detected during the G1/S phase transition and minimum levels are seen in S phase and the G2/mitosis boundary. Prohibitin is located exclusively in the mitochondria with the highest concentration on the inner membrane. It is an ideal mitochondrial marker. It shows anti-proliferative activity and has been proposed to play a role in normal cell cycle regulation, replicative senescence, cellular immortalization, and tumor suppression.

PHB/3230

Conjugation

Unconjugated

Purification

Protein G affinity chromatography

Dilution

The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Storage Conditions

Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

Notes

For research use only.

Applications Notes

Optimal dilution of the Prohibitin antibody should be determined by the researcher.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
