Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human FNTB. AA range:255-304
Specificity
FTβ Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of FTβ protein.
Formulation
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Dilution rate
Western Blot: 1/500 - 1/2000. ELISA: 1/40000. Not yet tested in other applications.
Purification process (Immunogen)
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.
Background
catalytic activity:Farnesyl diphosphate + protein-cysteine = S-farnesyl protein + diphosphate.,cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,function:Catalyzes the transfer of a farnesyl moiety from farnesyl pyrophosphate to a cysteine at the fourth position from the C-terminus of several proteins. The beta subunit is responsible for peptide-binding.,similarity:Belongs to the protein prenyltransferase subunit beta family.,similarity:Contains 5 PFTB repeats.,subunit:Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit.,
