Must know before running

	Expected band	54.7 kDa
	Observed band	Not reported — verify product WB image
	Gel	12-15%
	Positive control ⓘ	Small intestine
	Negative control ⓘ	Bronchus

Important caveats

Reasons your observed band may differ from the expected size.

ⓘ	Calculated mass	54.7 kDa
ⓘ	Localization	Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome / Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore
ⓘ	Processing / PTM	Record-dependent

Sample controls for CDC20 Western blot

🧪Use Small intestine as the first positive-control candidate and Bronchus as the HPA Not detected negative candidate.

Positive control: Small intestine (High)

Negative control: Bronchus (Not detected)

HPA protein score determines control status; other expression data is supporting context only.

Section 1

What Is the Expected CDC20 Western Blot Band Size?

Use the product-observed 54.7 kDa band as the primary planning value and retain the UniProt calculated mass as context.

What am I looking at on my blot?
54.7 kDa	Matches the authoritative product WB observation.
54.7 kDa calculated	Use as UniProt context, not as a replacement observed band.
Unexpected additional signal	Do not assign identity without orthogonal positive/negative controls.

💡Expected CDC20 appearancePlan around 54.7 kDa and keep the calculated mass as supporting context.

How each factor affects band size
Catalog-observed band	54.7 kDa; use this as the primary experimental expectation.
Calculated mass	54.7 kDa from UniProt Q12834; retain as context.
Gel selection	12-15%; shared with the recommended protocol and poster.
Specificity check	Compare the lead HPA positive and negative controls with A00382-1.

Why is my band missing or off?
Situation	Likely cause	Next action
54.7 kDa	Matches the authoritative product WB observation.	Confirm with orthogonal controls and the linked product record.
Additional band	May reflect processing, modification, or non-specific signal.	Run a dilution series and compare positive/negative controls.
Weak signal	Target abundance or transfer may be limiting.	Verify transfer, increase positive-control abundance, and bracket exposure.

Advanced CDC20 Western Blot Tips

Deeper troubleshooting and optimisation questions for CDC20, answered from its protein features.

Which band should guide the blot?

Use 54.7 kDa, the observation attached to the authoritative A00382-1 WB record.

How should calculated mass be interpreted?

Treat the UniProt calculated mass as context; it does not replace the catalog-observed 54.7 kDa expectation.

Which positive control should I start with?

Start with Small intestine, the lead HPA protein-expression candidate.

Which negative control is defensible?

Use Bronchus as an orthogonal HPA Not detected candidate.

Which gel should I use?

Use 12-15% consistently across the quick facts, protocol table, and poster.

What transfer method to use for CDC20 Western blot?

Use the transfer method in the recommended protocol and verify transfer before blocking.

How should A00382-1 be started?

Start at the linked datasheet condition and run a three-point primary-antibody dilution test.

Which publication-derived protocols can I compare?

Compare only the supplied target-verified records: PMC7730059, PMC7555290, PMC5148662.
