Product Name:

GRP78 Polyclonal Antibody

Catalog Number:

PA1-014A

I work on using stem cell models to understand and treat rare pediatric diseases. This product works well for western blotting and has been used across a multitude of human patient-derived cell types including fibroblasts, iPSCs, and differentiated cells. It forms clean bands even at lower dilutions.
