Immunogen: KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide chosen from the C-terminal of salmonid hsp70. The target peptide is a sequence specific to salmonid hsp70 UniProt: B5X4Z3.
Host: Rabbit
Clonality: Polyclonal
Purity: Serum
Format: Lyophilized
Quantity: 100 µl
Reconstitution: For reconstitution add 100 µl of sterile water
Storage: Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
Heat-shock protein 70 (Hsp70) is the major stress-inducible protein in vertebrates and highly conserved throughout evolution. It plays a role as a molecular chaperone and is important for allowing cells to cope with acute stressor insult, especially those affecting the protein machinery.
