Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human breast tissue labeling Importin subunit alpha with ab307438 at 1/2000 dilution (0.251 ug/ml) followed by ready to use LeicaDS9800 (Bond® Polymer Refine Detection). Positive staining on human breast (PMID : 34709479). The section was incubated with ab307438 for 30 mins at room temperature. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Counterstained with Hematoxylin. Secondary antibody only control : Secondary antibody is ready to use LeicaDS9800 (Bond® Polymer Refine Detection). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, Epitope Retrieval Solution2) for 20 mins.

Product details

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

What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
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.

Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. 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.

Compatibility
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.

Target data

Functions in nuclear protein import as an adapter protein for nuclear receptor KPNB1 (PubMed : 27713473, PubMed : 7892216, PubMed : 8692858). Binds specifically and directly to substrates containing either a simple or bipartite NLS motif (PubMed : 27713473, PubMed : 7892216, PubMed : 8692858). Docking of the importin/substrate complex to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is mediated by KPNB1 through binding to nucleoporin FxFG repeats and the complex is subsequently translocated through the pore by an energy requiring, Ran-dependent mechanism (PubMed : 27713473, PubMed : 7892216). At the nucleoplasmic side of the NPC, Ran binds to importin-beta and the three components separate and importin-alpha and -beta are re-exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where GTP hydrolysis releases Ran from importin (PubMed : 7892216). The directionality of nuclear import is thought to be conferred by an asymmetric distribution of the GTP- and GDP-bound forms of Ran between the cytoplasm and nucleus (PubMed : 7892216). Mediator of PR-DUB complex component BAP1 nuclear import; acts redundantly with KPNA2 and Transportin-1/TNPO1 (PubMed : 35446349).. (Microbial infection) In vitro, mediates the nuclear import of human cytomegalovirus UL84 by recognizing a non-classical NLS.
