Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI), encoded by the P4HB gene, serves as a critical molecular chaperone within the endoplasmic reticulum, where it catalyzes the formation, breakage, and rearrangement of disulfide bonds essential for proper protein folding. Beyond its enzymatic role, PDI functions as the beta subunit of prolyl 4-hydroxylase and has been identified as a cellular thyroid hormone-binding protein, positioning it at the intersection of protein quality control, collagen biosynthesis, and cellular signaling research. Its dysregulation has been implicated in ER stress responses, cancer progression, and neurodegenerative conditions, making it a compelling target for investigators across multiple disciplines.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human P4HB, offers the reproducibility and sequence-defined consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. As a rabbit IgG produced through recombinant technology, it eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates genuine experimental flexibility. Western blot analysis detects a band at approximately 60 kDa in HepG2, COLO-205, HeLa, and MCF-7 human cell lysates, as well as mouse liver tissue, confirming cross-species reactivity between human and mouse samples. The slightly higher observed molecular weight compared to the 57 kDa predicted size likely reflects post-translational glycosylation characteristic of ER-resident proteins. Immunohistochemistry staining has been validated in paraffin-embedded human pancreatic cancer tissue, while immunofluorescence and flow cytometry applications have been confirmed in HepG2 and HeLa cells, respectively.
Researchers investigating ER stress pathways, protein folding disorders, or tumor microenvironment biology will find this antibody well-suited for comprehensive target characterization across complementary detection methods.
