RBM8A Antibody

RBM8A is a protein with a conserved RNA-binding motif. The protein is found predominantly in the nucleus, although it is also present in the cytoplasm. It is preferentially associated with mRNAs produced by splicing, including both nuclear mRNAs and newly exported cytoplasmic mRNAs. It is thought that the protein remains associated with spliced mRNAs as a tag to indicate where introns had been present, thus coupling pre- and post-mRNA splicing events.This gene encodes a protein with a conserved RNA-binding motif.

It is thought that the protein remains associated with spliced mRNAs as a tag to indicate where introns had been present, thus coupling pre- and post-mRNA splicing events. Previously, it was thought that two genes encode this protein, RBM8A and RBM8B; it is now thought that the RBM8B locus is a pseudogene. Two alternative start codons result in two forms of the protein, and this gene also uses multiple polyadenylation sites.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store RBM8A antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

RBM8A antibody can be used for detection of RBM8A by ELISA at 1:62500. RBM8A antibody can be used for detection of RBM8A by western blot at 1.25 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
