Anti-HBD (Hemoglobin Subunit Delta) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody for WB and ELISA - P02042

Core Product Specifications and Parameters

Biological Background: Hemoglobin Subunit Delta Function and Localization

• Hemoglobin subunit delta, also known as delta-globin or hemoglobin delta chain, is a globin protein that constitutes a subunit of hemoglobin.
• It is involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues.
• Expressed specifically in red blood cells.
• The protein features heme and iron binding for oxygen coordination.
• Post-translational modifications include acetylation and phosphorylation.
• Its three-dimensional structure has been experimentally determined, aiding in the understanding of hemoglobin structure-function relationships.
• The mature protein has a molecular weight of approximately 16 kDa (16055 Da).

Experimental Guidance and Technical Tips

• The immunogen covers the full-length human HBD protein, so the antibody may recognize multiple epitopes; consider this when optimizing for WB and ELISA.
• For Western blot, use red blood cell lysates or recombinant HBD as positive controls; the expected band is around 16 kDa.
• Cross-reactivity with mouse and rat indicates sequence conservation; validate detection in the relevant sample system if using these species.
• For ELISA, pairing with a matched detection antibody is recommended; CamelBio offers antibody pair development and screening services.
