Involucrin Antibody IVRN/2113R Western Blot of Skin from Multiple Species. Western blot testing of human, mouse, rat, hamster, guinea pig, and rabbit skin tissue lysates with Involucrin Antibody clone IVRN/2113R. A strong predominant band at approximately 130-140 kDa is detected exclusively in human skin, while no corresponding signal is visible in the five non-human samples. Although involucrin has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 68 kDa, it characteristically migrates at a substantially higher apparent molecular weight on SDS-PAGE. The result demonstrates human-specific recognition with no detectable cross-reactivity in the tested non-human skin samples using this IVL Monoclonal Antibody.
Involucrin Antibody IVRN/2113R Western Blot of Human Skin and MCF-7 Cells. Western blot testing of human skin (lane 1) and MCF-7 breast cancer cell (lane 2) lysates with Involucrin Antibody clone IVRN/2113R. A strong predominant band at approximately 130-140 kDa is detected in human skin, while MCF-7 cells show a weaker doublet at a similar apparent molecular weight. The elevated migration relative to involucrin's calculated molecular weight is characteristic of this protein. The target-sized signals demonstrate endogenous involucrin detection in two distinct human sample types using this IVL Monoclonal Antibody.
Involucrin Antibody IVRN/2113R in Human Tonsil IHC. Immunohistochemistry testing of FFPE human tonsil tissue with Involucrin Antibody clone IVRN/2113R. Staining of formalin-fixed tissue is enhanced by digestion with Trypsin or Protease XXV at 1 mg/ml PBS for 5 min at 37oC, which is more effective than citrate buffer-based epitope unmasking for this antibody. Strong brown cytoplasmic staining is concentrated throughout the differentiated suprabasal squamous epithelium, while the adjacent lymphoid tissue shows comparatively little signal. This differentiation-associated epithelial pattern demonstrates detection of involucrin using the IVL Monoclonal Antibody.
Purified Involucrin Antibody IVRN/2113R SDS-PAGE. SDS-PAGE analysis of purified, BSA-free Involucrin Antibody clone IVRN/2113R under non-reducing and reducing conditions. The non-reduced preparation shows the intact antibody at approximately 150 kDa, while reduction produces the expected immunoglobulin heavy and light chains at approximately 50 kDa and 25 kDa. The expected electrophoretic profile provides a quality-control assessment of the purified recombinant rabbit IVL Monoclonal Antibody.

Description

Involucrin Antibody IVRN/2113R recognizes involucrin, a structural protein encoded by the IVL gene and expressed during terminal differentiation of stratified squamous epithelial cells. Involucrin is a major component of the cornified cell envelope and is widely used as a marker of keratinocyte differentiation. Its expression increases as keratinocytes leave the proliferative basal compartment and progress through the suprabasal layers toward terminal differentiation.

Involucrin is a soluble cytoplasmic protein before its incorporation into the developing cornified envelope. The human protein contains an unusual central region rich in tandem repeats and glutamine residues. During terminal differentiation, transglutaminases catalyze covalent crosslinking of involucrin to other structural proteins and lipids near the inner surface of the plasma membrane. This process contributes to formation of the highly insoluble protein-lipid structure that ultimately replaces the conventional plasma membrane in mature corneocytes.

The cornified envelope provides an essential mechanical and permeability barrier in the epidermis and other stratified squamous epithelia. Involucrin participates in the early stages of envelope assembly and provides a substrate for subsequent crosslinking events involving additional differentiation-associated proteins. Its regulated expression and incorporation into this structure make IVL an important marker for studying epidermal maturation, epithelial differentiation, and cornification.

Involucrin has a calculated molecular weight of approximately 68 kDa but characteristically migrates at a substantially higher apparent molecular weight during SDS-PAGE. This anomalous electrophoretic behavior is associated with the protein's unusual glutamine-rich, repetitive amino acid composition and should be considered when interpreting involucrin western blot results.

Changes in involucrin expression have been investigated in disorders of epidermal differentiation and in squamous epithelial neoplasia. Because IVL expression is closely associated with differentiation state, involucrin is also frequently examined in experimental systems studying keratinocyte maturation, epithelial development, and mechanisms controlling the transition from proliferating basal cells to differentiated suprabasal cells.

An Involucrin Antibody such as clone IVRN/2113R provides a recombinant monoclonal reagent for investigating involucrin expression and epithelial differentiation, while an IVL Monoclonal Antibody provides gene-based terminology for studies of keratinocyte maturation and cornified envelope formation.

Application Notes

Titering of the Involucrin Antibody IVRN/2113R / IVL Monoclonal Antibody may be required for optimal performance.

1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Immunogen

Involucrin purified from human keratinocytes was used as the immunogen for the Involucrin Antibody IVRN/2113R.

Storage

Store the recombinant Involucrin Antibody IVRN/2113R at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).

Alternate Names

IVL antibody, IVRN antibody, Involucrin antibody, Keratinocyte Involucrin antibody, Epidermal Involucrin antibody
