About EIF3H
Enables deubiquitinase activity. Contributes to translation initiation factor activity. Involved in negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and translational initiation. Located in extracellular exosome and membrane. Part of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 complex. Implicated in breast cancer; prostate cancer; and prostate carcinoma. Biomarker of prostate cancer.

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.
