Alternative NamesGDNF family receptor alpha-3; GFR-alpha-3
Application(s)IHC-Frozen, WB
Antibody HostRabbit
Antibody TypePolyclonal
SpecificityWestern blot analysis indicates a high level of specificity to GFR alpha-3 for this antiserum. This antibody is known to react with rat GFR alpha-2.
Species ReactivityMouse, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (MGLSWSPRPPL) as part of mouse GFR alpha-3 protein (aa: 1-11) conjugated to KLH
Application DetailsIHC, WB. A dilution of 1:500 to 1:1000 is recommended for both applications. This antibody stains nicely large neurons in the rat DRG. Specifically, if you would like to perform WB using rat brain homogenate detecting GFR alpha-3, this is the antibody to be used. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
