PODXL Antibody

PODXL is a member of the sialomucin protein family. PODXL was originally identified as an important component of glomerular podocytes. Podocytes are highly differentiated epithelial cells with interdigitating foot processes covering the outer aspect of the glomerular basement membrane. Other biological activities of PODXL include: binding in a membrane protein complex with Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor to intracellular cytoskeletal elements, playing a role in hematopoetic cell differentiation, and being expressed in vascular endothelium cells and binding to L-selectin.This gene encodes a member of the sialomucin protein family.

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

PODXL antibody can be used for detection of PODXL by ELISA at 1:312500. PODXL antibody can be used for detection of PODXL by western blot at 5.0 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
