Melanophilin Antibodies
AND MLPH ELISA kits, Melanophilin Proteins
Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Melanophilin, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Melanophilin in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Melanophilin antibodies...
Designing an IHC experiment for Melanophilin? The guide has the expected staining pattern, antigen retrieval and fixation, antibodies backed by real IHC images, the tissue controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

MLPH Overview
Facts about Melanophilin.
Melanophilin (MLPH)
Rab effector protein involved in melanosome transport. Serves as link between melanosome-bound RAB27A and the motor protein MYO5A.
