Anti-Ferritin 1-2 (plant)

Ferritinforms a 24-subunit cage for storage of mineral iron. In plants, ferritin is predominantly localized in the plastids, and its expression is upregulated in response to iron or oxidative stress.

Purified ferritin from dried peas,Pisum sativumL. After extraction from pea flour, the ferritin was further purified by gel filtration chromatography to >95% purity as estimated from a Coomassie-stained gel.Antibody is most likely to bind to all ferritin isoforms from pea however it has not been confirmed as yet.

Note, the calculated molecular weight of pea ferritin is 28 kDa. Removal of the N-terminal targeting sequence upon protein import into plastids results in a protein with an apparent mol weight of ~23 kDa.This antibody is also recognizing horse ferritin (above 100 ng in Western blot).

Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube. Upon reconstitution in water, store the antibody in 20 % glycerol (final) at -20°C.
