    Involucrin Antibody (H-8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects involucrin in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Involucrin plays a crucial role in the formation of the keratinocyte cornified envelope, a vital structure that provides a barrier to protect underlying tissues from environmental damage. Involucrin is initially found in the cytosol of keratinocytes and is later cross-linked to membrane proteins by transglutaminase during the process of terminal differentiation. The significance of involucrin lies in its ability to form covalent ε-(γ-glutamyl) lysine bonds with other envelope precursors, which is essential for the structural integrity and functionality of the cornified envelope. The large size of involucrin enables multiple cross-links across considerable distances, facilitating the formation of a robust and cohesive barrier. Involucrin is specifically expressed in various cell types, including Chinese hamster ovarian cells, PtK2 rat kangaroo kidney cells, and rat epidermal keratinocytes, highlighting involucrin′s importance in epithelial tissue development and maintenance. Anti-involucrin antibody (H-8) makes an invaluable tool for researchers studying skin biology and keratinocyte differentiation.

    What application is the blocking peptide sc-398221 P appropriate for?

    Asked by: DefinitelyNotMatt
    Thank you for your question. The blocking peptide is intended for use as a negative control, by pre-adsorbing the mouse monoclonal antibody against the antigen.
