Overview

Recognizes a protein of 94 kDa, which is identified as the glucose-regulated protein 94 (grp94) and also tumor rejection antigen (gp96) . Grp94 shows a high degree of sequence homology with the heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) . This MAb is highly specific to grp94 and shows minimal cross-reaction with other members of the HSP90 family. Grp's are a class of proteins unresponsive to heat shock and are induced by glucose deprivation. Grp94 has been studied as a prognostic factor in breast cancer. 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.
