Catalogue No. |
M-1573-100 |
Description |
Protein DJ-1 has many roles including protecting cells against oxidative stress and cell death (Ref: SwissProt). Mutations in the DJ-1 gene have been associated with rare forms of autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease. |

Clone |
4H4 |
Other Names |
Oncogene DJ1; Parkinson disease protein 7; PARK7; DJ-1 |
Accession |
Q99497 PARK7_HUMAN; |
Produced in |
Mouse |
Applications |
WB, ICC. Suggested dilution of at least 1:500 for ICC. Dilutions of 1:5,000 or lower is recommended for WB. This antibody reveals a prominent ~21 kDa band and stains mainly in cytoplasm of tissue culture cells. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
Specificity |
The antibody reacts with a 21 kDa band by Western blot on whole HeLa cell lysate. It has also been used successfully for immunocytochemistry. |
Species Against |
Human. |
Antibody Against |
DJ1 [PARK7] |
Cross-reactivity |
Does not react with rat and mouse DJ-1 protein on western blots. |

Western blot analysis of whole brain and cell lysates using mouse antibody to DJ1 (green, 1:5,000). [1] protein standard, [2] rat brain, [3] mouse brain, [4] NIH-3T3, [5] HeLa, [6] HEK293, and [7] C6 cells. The antibody detects DJ1 protein with apparent molecular weight of 21 kDa, but only in human cell lines, since it does not recognize the rat or mouse DJ1 protein. The blot was simultaneously probed with chicken antibody to vimentin (C-1409-50, red, 1:5,000), revealing a single band at about 50 kDa (lanes 2-7). |
