Catalog Number: 26182 | Gene Symbol: BRAF, BRAF1, RAFB1 | Description: Anti-B-Raf (V600R) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody | Background: B-Raf is a member of the Raf family of Ser/Thr protein kinases. It functions downstream of Ras to regulate the MAP kinase signaling pathway. Mutations in the BRAF gene cause diseases. Inherited mutations in BRAF cause cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome. Acquired mutations in BRAF have been found in cancers. | Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the internal region of B-Raf (V600R), human origin. | Applications: ELISA, WB, IHC | Recommended Dilutions: ELISA 1:1000-1:5000 WB 1:500-1:1500 IHC 1:100-1:200 | Concentration: 0.9 mg/ml | Host: mouse | Format: Liquid | Clonality: Monoclonal | Isotype: Unknown | Purity: Purified from ascites | Storage buffer: | Preservative: no | Constituents: PBS (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 50% glycerol | Species Reactivity: Recognizes B-Raf V600R, but not wild-type B-Raf proteins. | Storage Conditions: Store at -20°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles | | Western blot: |  | Western blot analysis of recombinant B-raf proteins. Purified His-tagged B-Raf (V600R) protein ( lane 2) and corresponding wild type protein (lane 1) were blotted with anti-B-Raf (V600R) monoclonal antibody (Cat. # 26182). | Publications: 1.
