General description
TRIM5 alpha Antibody: TRIM5 is a member of a broad family of otherwise unrelated proteins defined by the presence of a tripartite motif containing a RING domain, a B-box type 1, and a B-box type 2, followed by a coiled-coil region. TRIM5 has six alternately spliced isoforms, the longest of which is the alpha variant which also contains a carboxy-terminal B30.2 (SPRY) domain. Expression of TRIM5α variants from humans, rhesus monkeys, and African green monkeys enabled resistance to infection by various retroviruses including HIV-1, albeit at differing efficiencies. All TRIM5α variants could inhibit at least two different retroviruses, but not from those viruses isolated from the same species, suggesting that TRIM5α acts as a natural barrier to cross-species retrovirus transmission.
Immunogen
TRIM5 alpha antibody was raised against a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids near the mid-region of human TRIM5 alpha.The immunogen is located within amino acids 370 - 420 of TRIM5 alpha.
Application
TRIM5 alpha antibody can be used for detection of TRIM5 alpha by Western blot at 2 μg/mL. A band at approximately 55 kDa can be detected. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2 μg/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 10 μg/mL.Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples; Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.
Physical form
Supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
