Filaggrin (Keratinocyte Differentiation Marker) (FLG/1563) , CF640R conjugate , 0.1mg / mL

Filaggrin is an intermediate filament-associated protein that aggregates keratin intermediate filaments in mammalian epidermis. It is initially synthesized as a polyprotein precursor , profilaggrin (consisting of multiple filaggrin units of 324 aa each) , which is localized in keratohyalin granules , and is subsequently proteolytically processed into individual functional filaggrin molecules. Active filaggrin is present at a level of the epidermis where keratinocytes are in transition between the live nucleated granular layer and the anucleate cornified layer , suggesting that filaggrin aids in the terminal differentiation process by facilitating apoptotic machinery.Primary antibodies are available purified , or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets , because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
