Description
This GAPDH antibody can be used as a loading control antibody. GAPDH is a 146 kDa tetramer composed of four 30-40 kDa subunits. There is no cross-reaction with GAPDH from yeast. Preliminary data indicates that the GAPDH antibody- loading control ab8245 recognizes the monomer (36 kDa) and also the dimer forms of GAPDH, but not the tetrameric form of the protein.

It shows excellent specificity and sensitivity, with minimal background interference
Drug Discovery and Development
I’ve been using this anti-GAPDH antibody for Western blot applications, and it has consistently delivered clear, reliable results. The specificity is excellent, with no significant off-target bands, even when working with complex lysates. It’s also highly sensitive—requiring minimal optimization to achieve strong signals. The antibody is robust across multiple dilutions, making it cost-effective for long-term use. One slight downside is the stability at lower concentrations, so careful storage is essential. Overall, it is a solid choice for researchers looking for a dependable loading control antibody!
