Filaggrin antibody is used to study filaggrin, a structural protein that plays a central role in the formation and maintenance of the epidermal barrier. Filaggrin is synthesized as a large precursor protein called profilaggrin, which resides in keratohyalin granules of the epidermis. Upon terminal differentiation of keratinocytes, profilaggrin is processed into filaggrin monomers that aggregate keratin filaments, condensing them into tight bundles that strengthen the cornified envelope.
This protein is critical for skin barrier integrity and hydration. By promoting keratin aggregation, filaggrin contributes to the flattening of keratinocytes and the formation of the stratum corneum. Subsequent degradation of filaggrin releases amino acids that serve as natural moisturizing factors, helping to maintain skin hydration and pH balance. Mutations in the FLG gene are strongly associated with atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis vulgaris, underscoring the importance of this protein in dermatology research.
The Filaggrin antibody clone FLG/1561 provides specific recognition of filaggrin protein, enabling researchers to track its expression and distribution in epidermal tissues. Clone FLG/1561 has been applied in studies investigating keratinocyte differentiation, epidermal barrier function, and skin disorders. Its specificity makes it a trusted reagent for examining how alterations in filaggrin expression contribute to disease.
Filaggrin deficiency is a well established risk factor for atopic dermatitis, as impaired barrier function increases susceptibility to allergens and pathogens. Research using clone FLG/1561 has clarified how reduced or absent filaggrin disrupts epidermal integrity. Beyond dermatology, the study of filaggrin informs broader fields such as allergy, immunology, and environmental health, where skin barrier function influences disease susceptibility.
NSJ Bioreagents supplies this Filaggrin antibody to support high quality research into skin structure and disease. The protein is also known by alternate terms such as FLG antibody, profilaggrin antibody, epidermal differentiation complex protein antibody, and skin barrier protein antibody. These terms reflect the multiple ways filaggrin is referenced in dermatological and molecular biology research.
Optimal dilution of the Filaggrin antibody should be determined by the researcher.
Amino acids 198-288 of human FLG were used as the immunogen for this Filaggrin antibody.
Store the Filaggrin antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
