Metallothionein / FITC / REA1139
Product Details
| Description | Clone REA1139 recognizes the human Metallothionein, a cytoplasmatic protein, which has a high content of cysteine and no aromatic amino acids. Metallothionein is able to bind and sequestrate heavy metal ions and is transcriptionally regulated by heavy metals, glucocorticoids, interferon, lymphokines and stress. The isoforms of Metallothionein MT I and MT II have the ability to scavenge free radicals and play a role in carcinogenesis. Overexpression is found in cancers, e.g. different carcinomas and melanoma. | Additional information: Clone REA1139 displays negligible binding to Fc receptors. | |

About FITC
Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
