Validation Data Gallery

• 

  WB analysis using 68251-1-Ig

  Various lysates were subjected to SDS PAGE followed by western blot with 68251-1-Ig (TPMT antibody) at dilution of 1:10000 incubated at room temperature for 1.5 hours. The membrane was stripped and reblotted with HRP-conjugated Alpha Tubulin Monoclonal antibody (HRP-66031) as loading control.

Tested Applications

• Positive WB detected in: HeLa cells, HEK-293 cells, HepG2 cells, Jurkat cells, k-562 cells

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:5000-1:50000

It is recommended that this reagent should be titrated in each testing system to obtain optimal results.

Background Information

The TPMT gene is localized to chromosome 6p22.3 and is approximately 34 kDa in length. It has an open reading frame (ORF) of 735 bp that encodes for a 245-amino acid peptide. The wild type TPMT allele, expressing the enzyme with normal activity. To date, there have been 30 variant TPMT alleles described (PMID: 22493988). Thiopurine compounds are commonly used in the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and as immunosuppressants following organ transplantation or for treatment of various autoimmune disorders. Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is required for detoxification, through S-methylation, of 6-thioguanine nucleotides (TGNs), a byproduct of thiopurine metabolism. Catalog#10682-1-AP is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against the full-length of human TPMT. TPMT has a predicted molecular weight of 28 kDa, however, as a result of its phosphorylation it separates on a SDS gel as a band of approximately 28-32 kDa.
