- BACKGROUND
| Calculated MW | 1012.91 Da |
|---|
| Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP1013a is DYKDDDDK (Same epitope as Sigma's Anti-FLAG? M2 Antibody). A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
|---|---|
| Format | The synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml deionized water for a final concentration of 1 mg/ml. |
| Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
| Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |

Background
Epitope tags are useful for the labeling and detection of recombinant proteins using western blotting, immunoprecipitation and immunostaining techniques. The eight amino acid DYKDDDDK peptide is an established and multi-functional epitope tag and can be expressed and detected with a recombinant protein as an amino-terminal or carboxy-terminal fusion (1). Abgent锟渟 DYKDDDDK antibody binds to the same epitope recognized by Sigma's Anti-FLAG锟?antibodies. (FLAG锟?is a registered trademark of Sigma-Aldrich Co., which is not affiliated with Abgent).

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
