Datasheets
  • OA1 Antibody (C-6) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a κ OA1 antibody provided at 200 µg/ml
  • specific for an epitope mapping between amino acids 97-126 near the N-terminus of OA1 of mouse origin
  • OA1 Antibody (C-6) is recommended for detection of OA1 of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IP, IF and ELISA
  • Anti-OA1 Antibody (C-6) is available conjugated to agarose for IP; HRP for WB, IHC(P) and ELISA; and to either phycoerythrin or FITC for IF, IHC(P) and FCM
  • also available conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488, Alexa Fluor® 546, Alexa Fluor® 594 or Alexa Fluor® 647 for WB (RGB), IF, IHC(P) and FCM, and for use with RGB fluorescent imaging systems, such as iBright™ FL1000, FluorChem™, Typhoon, Azure and other comparable systems

    OA1 Antibody (C-6) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a kappa light chain antibody that detects OA1 of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). OA1 (C-6) antibody 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. OA1, also known as GPR143, is a multi-pass membrane protein primarily located in melanosomes within pigment cells, where OA1 plays a crucial role in regulating melanin synthesis. This localization directly impacts skin, hair, and eye pigmentation, and defects in the gene encoding OA1 can lead to ocular albinism, an X-linked disorder characterized by retinal hypopigmentation and visual impairment. OA1 mediates intracellular signaling in response to various stimuli, highlighting OA1′s importance in cellular communication and normal pigmentation processes.
