Product Name
RbcL | Rubisco large subunit, form I (chicken)
Immunogen
KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide derived from all known plant,algal and cyanobacterial RbcL (Rubisco large subunit of Rubisco Form I) sequences, including Arabidopsis thaliana UniProt: O03042, TAIR: AtCg00490, Synechococcus sp. Q3ALL1
Background
Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of CO2 fixation in photosynthesis. It is one of the most abundant proteins on Earth and its homology has been demonstrated from purple bacteria to flowering plants.

Recommended dilution
(IL) tested on a grass species, formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue following the protocol from Gonzalez et al, (1998) Plant Physiol, V, 116, 1 : 10 000-1 : 20 000, 2 µg of total cellular protein, (WB)
Storage
Store at 4°C; make aliquots to avoid working with a stock. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
