Anti-Ankrd26 Antibody

This antibody is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. POTE gene is expressed in prostate and breast cancer and a potential candidate for immuno-therapy. It is also expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES) cells. ANKRD-26 is the ancestral gene of POTE and has a homologue in mouse. Mouse Ankrd26 is also selectively expressed in ES cells and various cancers but not in other adult tissues. The encoded protein of Ankrd26 contains ankyrin repeats and coiled coil domain of spectrin suggestive of a signaling molecule.

This affinity purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-Terminal region near amino acids 1-25 of mouse Ankrd26 protein.

This affinity-purified antibody is directed against mouse Ankrd26 protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Ankrd26 proteins from mouse (100%), rat (93%), bovine (81%) and human (68%) . Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.
