Plakophilin-1 (PKP1) (10B2) , CF488A conjugate , 0.1mg / mL

This antibody recognizes a protein of 75 kDa , identified as Plakophilin-1. Its epitope maps between aa 1-27 human Plakophilin-1. Plakophilins 1 , 2 , 3 and 4 (PKP1-4) influence development and participate in linking cadherins to cytoskeletal intermediate filaments. Plakophilins 1-4 contain arm-repeat (armadillo) domains and localize to nuclei and cell desmosomes (cell-cell junctions found in suprabasal layers of stratifying epithelia that undergo mechanical stress). Plakophilin 2 is important for desmosome assembly and is an essential morphogenic factor and architectural component of the heart.Primary antibodies are available purified , or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets , because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
