MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000.
The intact CCT complex is composed of eight polypeptides in a double-ring structure. CCT is important within cells in aiding the folding of proteins including actin, tubulin and the VHL tumor suppressor protein.
Applications
Suitable for use in Gel Super Shift Assay, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Western Blot: detects a band of ~60kD in lysates of heat shocked Hela cells. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
