RNA Binding Protein (RBP)

This Anti-Histidine Tagged Antibody, clone HIS.H8 is validated for use in IC, IP, WB for the detection of Histidine Tagged.

Recognizes tag sequence HHHHHH on either the N- or C-terminus of any recombinant fusion protein; no other amino acids surrounding the 6x-His tag sequence are required for the recognition of the 6x-His tag.

Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.

His-Tag is a series of at least 6 histidine residues used as a tag motif at the N- or C-terminus of recombinant proteins. The relatively small size of this tag vs. other commonly used tags such as GST (30 kDa) makes it less likely to interfere with target protein structure or function. Its small size also makes it more suitable for use under denaturing conditions. His tags are most often used for affinity purification and binding assays. His tags bind to nickel or cobalt ions with high affinity, and this interaction with metal ions is the basis of many his-tag based affinity media. The His Tag epitope is widely used to detect expression of recombinant proteins in bacterial, yeast, insect,and mammalian systems.

6x His synthetic peptide.
