  • Not reactive in: higher plants
  • FtsZ (cell division GTPase) is a well characterized protein of the bacterial cell division apparatus. This protein accumulates early in dividing cells, and has a crucial role during septum formation in most bacteria as well as in chloroplasts. It has also been accepted as the bacterial cytoskeletal counterpart to eukaryotic microtubules.

  • This antibody can be used as a loading control antibody in cyanobacteria. Immunofluorescence has been done by labelling Synechococcus elongatus cells at 30°C for 2 hours with FtsZ antibodies diluted to 1: 500 in blocking buffer. Detection images can be found in Kabeya et al (2010).This product can be sold containing ProClin if requested.
