SEE ALSO...

Desmin Antibody (RD301) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b kappa light chain antibody that detects Desmin protein of mouse, rat, human, hamster, canine, porcine, rabbit, and avian origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. Anti-Desmin antibody (RD301) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), phycoerythrin (PE), fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), and multiple Alexa Fluor® conjugates. Desmin, a 469 amino acid protein, plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of muscle cells by forming a network of intermediate filaments that connect the Z-discs of sarcomeres to membrane-associated proteins, thereby facilitating force transmission during muscle contraction. This structural organization is vital for muscle function and stability, as Desmin helps to withstand the mechanical stress experienced during muscle activity. Additionally, Desmin is predominantly expressed in differentiated muscle tissues, and Desmin mutations are linked to various myopathies, including adult-onset skeletal myopathy and cardiac involvement, highlighting its importance in both muscle health and disease. Desmin monoclonal antibody (RD301) effectively identifies and characterizes Desmin in various species, making this antibody an essential tool for researchers studying muscle biology and related pathologies.

Desmin Antibody (RD301) This antibody detects so many species, can it also detect bovine?

Asked by: DYKim
Thank you for your question. We don't recommend you detect bovine species, since we didn't test the antibody on it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works well with mouse primary myoblastsI used 1:200 dilution in 1%BSA-TBST, and it works well on my primary myoblasts samples--very clean bands. Dilutions didn't last very long (with much lighter band after two weeks), but it could be easily fixed with adding more stock to the dilution. Thanks!
