Anti-TRIM5 gamma antibody produced in rabbit

TRIM5 gamma Antibody: TRIM5 is a member of a broad family of otherwise unrelated proteins defined by the presence of a tripartite motif containing a RING domain, a B-box type 1, and a B-box type 2, followed by a coiled-coil region. TRIM5 has five alternately spliced isoforms, the longest of which is the alpha variant which also contains a carboxy-terminal B30.2 (SPRY) domain. While a function has not yet been assigned to TRIM5gamma, it is known that expression of TRIM5α variants from humans, rhesus monkeys, and African green monkeys enable resistance to infection by various retroviruses including HIV-1, albeit at differing efficiencies. Furthermore, the TRIM5δ isoform appears to serve as a scaffold for the assembly of endogenous BTBD1 and BTBD2 proteins and also exhibits autoubiquitination activity in a RING finger- and UbcH5B-dependent manner.

TRIM5 gamma antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to 15 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human TRIM5 gamma.The immunogen is located within the last 50 amino acids of TRIM5 gamma.

TRIM5 gamma antibody can be used for detection of TRIM5 gamma by Western blot at 2 μg/mL. A band at approximately 35 kDa can be detected. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2 μg/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μg/mL.Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples; Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
