Notes

ab318971 is the carrier-free version of Anti-groEL antibody [EPR28718-8] ab318970.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

The groEL protein often known as 60 kDa chaperonin is a highly conserved molecular chaperone with an approximate mass of 60 kilodaltons. It plays an integral role in assisting the correct folding of nascent or stress-denatured proteins in the cell. Expressed prominently in prokaryotic organisms such as E. coli groEL is an important component of the E. coli expression system due to its ability to maintain protein functionality. By forming a double-ring structure that encapsulates substrates groEL collaborates with its co-chaperonin groES to perform essential protein folding.

Biological function summary

GroEL functions in collaboration with groES as part of a chaperonin complex that stabilizes unfolded proteins and prevents aggregation. It operates by undergoing ATP-dependent conformational changes that create an environment conducive to proper protein folding. E. coli products such as enzymes and structural proteins rely on the folding mechanism orchestrated by groEL to achieve their native conformation. Consequently its role is indispensable for protein homeostasis within E. coli affecting diverse cellular processes.

Pathways

Molecular chaperones including groEL integrate into the protein quality control network which monitors and manages protein integrity and turnover. In particular groEL operates in the folding and stress response pathways. Working closely with other proteins such as DnaK and DnaJ groEL ensures efficient protein folding and repair especially during heat shock conditions. This function maintains cellular viability and is important for cellular adaptation to environmental stressors.

Associated diseases and disorders

Disruptions in groEL function can lead to protein misfolding-related diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Although direct links to groEL are less observed in eukaryotic systems similar chaperone proteins like HSP60 show connections to neurodegenerative disorders. Dysfunctional protein homeostasis due to insufficient chaperone activity highlights the role of molecular chaperones in preventing protein aggregation which is implicated in these diseases.
