SQSTM1, commonly known as p62, serves as a critical scaffold protein at the intersection of autophagy, oxidative stress response, and cellular signaling pathways. This multifunctional protein acts as a selective autophagy receptor, targeting ubiquitinated cargo for degradation while also participating in NF-κB signaling and Nrf2-mediated antioxidant responses. Dysregulation of SQSTM1 has been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, cancer progression, and Paget disease of bone, making it an essential target for researchers investigating protein quality control mechanisms and disease pathology.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 4B8, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The rabbit IgG format, purified by affinity chromatography, ensures high specificity for human SQSTM1.
Validation by western blot demonstrates robust detection across a diverse panel of human cell lines, including HeLa, HepG2, PC-3, COLO205, and HEK293 whole cell lysates. The antibody produces a clear band at approximately 62 kDa, which differs from the predicted molecular weight of 48 kDa. This size discrepancy is commonly observed with SQSTM1 and reflects the protein's post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation and ubiquitination, which contribute to its apparent higher molecular weight. Recommended working dilutions range from 1:500 to 1:2000 for western blot applications, with additional utility in ELISA.
This antibody supports investigations into autophagy flux, selective protein degradation, and stress response pathways across oncology, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disease research.
