Protocol
Available protocols: Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
DYKDDDDK Tag (9A3) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (Binds to same epitope as Sigma-Aldrich Anti-FLAG M2 antibody) (HRP Conjugate) detects exogenously expressed DYKDDDDK proteins in cells. This antibody conjugate recognizes the DYKDDDDK peptide, which is the same epitope recognized by Sigma-Aldrich's Anti-FLAG antibodies.
Species Reactivity: All Species Expected
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic DYKDDDDK peptide.
Background
Epitope tags are useful for the labeling and detection of proteins using immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunostaining techniques. Because of their small size, they are unlikely to affect the tagged protein's biochemical properties. The DYKDDDDK peptide has been used extensively as a general epitope tag in expression vectors. This peptide can be expressed and detected with the protein of interest as an amino-terminal or carboxy-terminal fusion (1).
