This product is one of few phospho antibodies on the market for Pin1. It comes as 50ul but about a 1:100 to 1:500 dilution is necessary to detect phosphorylation reliably. The blot is often dirty, likely due to non specificity, but no bands other than Pin1 appear phosphorylated. Recognizes all listed host species as well as opossum Pin1.
