SpecificityThe specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB and IHC against the antigen. Human; mouse; rat; rabbit;
Species ReactivityHuman, Mouse, Rabbit, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (FTKELDQWIEQLNEC) corresponding to a region (6-20) from human PP2A alpha isoform. To enhance the immunological response, this peptide was coupled to carrier protein BSA.
ConjugateUnconjugated
Purity DescriptionAffinity purified on antigen column
Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human PP2A alpha isoform has a predicted length of 309 residues and MW of 36 kDa. A concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect the protein in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval is required. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundSerine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A is one of four major serine and threonine phosphatases and plays an important role in processes such as the regulation of the cell cycle, cell growth and division. It has a common heteromeric core enzyme composed of a catalytic subunit and a constant regulatory subunit. PP2A alpha is the alpha isoform of the catalytic subunit.
