Tropomyosin 1 (TPM1) serves as a critical regulator of actin filament dynamics in both muscle and non-muscle cells, playing essential roles in muscle contraction, cytoskeletal organization, and cellular motility. This alpha-tropomyosin isoform has garnered significant research attention due to its association with inherited cardiac conditions, including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy, making it a valuable target for cardiovascular disease research and studies of sarcomeric protein function.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 6H8, offers researchers the reproducibility advantages inherent to recombinant technology. Because the antibody sequence is defined and production occurs in controlled expression systems, you can expect consistent performance across different lots, eliminating the variability concerns that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations. The rabbit host and monoclonal nature provide high specificity for human TPM1, with the antibody raised against a synthetic peptide immunogen and purified through affinity chromatography for optimal purity.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance across multiple experimental platforms. Immunohistochemistry testing in paraffin-embedded human colorectal cancer tissue using citrate buffer antigen retrieval shows clear staining at dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200. Flow cytometry analysis in 786-O renal carcinoma cells confirms intracellular detection capability, with distinct population shifts observed compared to isotype controls following fixation and permeabilization.
Whether you are investigating TPM1's role in cardiac pathophysiology, exploring cytoskeletal dynamics in cancer cell migration, or characterizing tropomyosin expression patterns across tissue types, this antibody provides a dependable tool for immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry workflows in human samples.
