Product Description

Acetylated BSA is chemically synthesized through acetylation of the epsilon amino group of the lysine residues with activated acetic acid.  The acetylated BSA is well recognized and binds strongly to affinity purified anti-acetylated lysine antibodies.

Western blot analysis of acetylated BSA. A to B, acetylated BSA in ng.

Species

Rabbit

Formulation

5 mg/mL in PBS

Acetylation

Approximay 20-30 acetyl groups/BSA

Applications

Positive control and competitive inhibitor for anti-acetylated lysine antibodies

Scientific Description

BSA is a protein with a molecular weight of 66,430 Da, ^[1] and 583 amino acid residues. Because BSA is highly soluble in water, it is used as a diluting or blocking agent for many techniques such as Western blots, ELISAs and immunohistochemistry.

Storage & Stability
