Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. Western blotting, suggested working dilution(s): Use 10 μl per 5 ml antibody dilution buffer for each mini-gel. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
MOLT-4 nuclear extract was resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with rabbit anti-MAD2 antibody. Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit secondary conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system.
Description:
MAD2 (also known as mitotic arrest deficient and mitotic spindle assembly checkpoint protein MAD2A) is a 24 kD nuclear protein containing a HORMA domain. MAD2 acts as a mitotic checkpoint, monitoring kinetochore-spindle attachment, and delaying anaphase if process incomplete. MAD2 inhibits APC activity by sequestering Cdc20. MAD2 interacts with several binding partners; affinity for binding partners changes in a cell cycle-dependent manner. MAD2 has been reported to interact with Cdc20, and ADAM17 (TACE). The Poly6021 antibody recognizes the N-terminal region of human MAD2 and has been shown to be useful for Western blotting.
