At1g52590 Antibody

Overview of At1g52590 Antibody

The At1g52590 antibody targets the protein product of the At1g52590 gene in Arabidopsis thaliana, a model organism for plant biology. This polyclonal antibody is produced for detecting and quantifying the endogenous expression of the At1g52590 protein, which remains uncharacterized in public databases .

Key Features:

• Target Species: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress)

• Uniprot ID: Q9SSR1

• Applications: Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry (presumed based on standard antibody uses) .
