PIAS4 (D2F12) Rabbit mAb

Catalog Number:

4392

PIAS4 of PIAS family is a SUMO E3 ligase. It has been implicated in many cellular processes including chromatin regulation and DNA repair. This antibody from CST specifically detects endogenous PIAS4 when used in western blotting, but failed to detect any positive signal in IF.

1:1000 in TBST

Blocking Agent

5% milk

Secondary Incubation

Anti-rabbit-HRP 1:5000

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

Bio-Rad ECL and Bio-Rad ChemiDoc

Results Summary

The antibody works well for western blotting. With specific siRNA against PIAS4, the antibody shows a nice specificity detecting endogenous PIAS4.
