Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

Application 
| WB, E, I, LCI |
| Application Note | This protein A purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 64 kDa in size corresponding to FKBP8 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. |
| Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
| Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
| Immunogen | This protein A purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to an internal region of human FKBP8 protein. |
| Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
| Gene ID | 23770 |
|---|---|
| Other Names | 23770 |
| Purity | This product was protein A purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography using protein A coupled to agarose beads. This antibody is specific for human FKBP8 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest partial cross-reactivity with FKBP8 from mouse and rat sources based on ~93% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with FKBP8 from other sources has not been determined. |
| Storage Condition | Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. |
| Precautions Note | This product is for research use only and is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |
| Name | FKBP8 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | FKBP38 |
| Function | Constitutively inactive PPiase, which becomes active when bound to calmodulin and calcium. Seems to act as a chaperone for BCL2, targets it to the mitochondria and modulates its phosphorylation state. The BCL2/FKBP8/calmodulin/calcium complex probably interferes with the binding of BCL2 to its targets. The active form of FKBP8 may therefore play a role in the regulation of apoptosis. Involved in the inhibition of viral infection by influenza A viruses (IAV) (PubMed:28169297). |
| Cellular Location | Mitochondrion. Mitochondrion membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side [Isoform 3]: Mitochondrion membrane; Single-pass membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side |
| Tissue Location | Widely expressed. Highest levels seen in the brain. Highly abundant in the retina. |

Background
This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). FKBP8 (also known as FK506-binding protein 38) is a member of the immunophilin family that has been implicated to play an important role in apoptosis through its involvement in the mechanism that targets Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM). Suppression of endogenous FKBP8 by RNAi or transfection of a mutant FKBP8 missing the transmembrane domain necessary for mitochondrial insertion, resulted in the translocation of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL from the OMM to the cytosol. It has also been suggested that FKBP8 may play a role in the regulation of apoptosis. Anti-FKBP8 Antibody is useful for researchers interested in HIV, Cancer, and Metabolism of protein research.
