Immunogen: KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide derived fromA.thaliana FT protein sequence(Q9SXZ2, At1g65480); please note that this antibody will cross-react with the highly homologous TSF (twin sister of FT) protein
Host: Rabbit
Clonality: Polyclonal
Purity: Immunogen affinity purified serum in PBS pH 7.4.
Format: Lyophilized
Quantity: 50 µg
Reconstitution: For reconstitution add 50 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.
In angioperms the 20 kDa protein FT (coded by the gene flowering locus T) promotes flowering under long-day conditions. It has been shown to contribute to flowering initiation upon its expression in leafs followed by transport to apical meristems.
