Product Use: Western blotting | ICC/Immunofluorescence

Antibody Dilution Recommended: WB (1:1000); optimal dilutions for assays should be determined by the user.

Antibody Potency: Detects a ~85 kDa protein (full length protein is 210 kDa protein – smaller due to proteolysis into P-subunit containing transmembrane and intracellular domains.

Antibody Species Reactivity: Human | Mouse | Rat

Antibody Positive Control: 1 µg/ml of SMC-443 was sufficient for detection of LAR/PTPRF in 20 µg of rat brain lysate by colorimetric immunoblot analysis using Goat anti-mouse IgG:HRP as the secondary antibody.

Scientific Background: PTPRF or leukocyte common antigen-related protein (LAR) is a widely expressed protein tyrosine phosphatase with an extracellular receptor region that resembles a cell adhesion molecule. PTPRF removes phosphate group from β-catenin, an event that may subsequently facilitate cell-cell adhesion and ensure the stability of the cadherin complex. This phosphatase has also been implicated in various cellular processes such as neurite growth, nerve regeneration, actin remodeling and regulation of insulin function (1,2,3,4). Anti-PTPRF (C-terminal) antibody is specific for the extracellular and cytoplasmic subunits of human PTPRF (approx. 210, 150 and 85 kDa). Detection of the PTPRF bands by immunoblotting is specifically inhibited by the immunizing peptide.
