From sample preparation to detection, the reagents you need for your Western Blot are now in one convenient kit: #12957 Western Blotting Application Solutions Kit
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalent grade water.
Load 20 µl onto SDS-PAGE gel (10 cm x 10 cm).
NOTE: Loading of prestained molecular weight markers (#13953, 5 µl/lane) to verify electrotransfer and biotinylated protein ladder (#7727, 10 µl/lane) to determine molecular weights are recommended.
NOTE: Volumes are for 10 cm x 10 cm (100 cm2) of membrane; for different sized membranes, adjust volumes accordingly.

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

EphA1 (D6V7I) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total EphA1 protein.
Human, Mouse
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant protein fragment specific to the extracellular domain of human EphA1 protein.
The Eph receptors are the largest known family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). They can be divided into two groups based on sequence similarity and on their preference for a subset of ligands. While EphA receptors bind to a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored ephrin A ligand, EphB receptors bind to ephrin B proteins that have a transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain (1,2). Research studies have shown that Eph receptors and ligands may be involved in many diseases including cancer (3). Both ephrin A and B ligands have dual functions. As RTK ligands, ephrins stimulate the kinase activity of Eph receptors and activate signaling pathways in receptor-expressing cells. The ephrin extracellular domain is sufficient for this function as long as it is clustered (4). The second function of ephrins has been described as "reverse signaling", whereby the cytoplasmic domain becomes tyrosine phosphorylated, allowing interactions with other proteins that may activate signaling pathways in the ligand-expressing cells (5).
The EphA1 receptor preferentially binds ephrin-A1 as a ligand (6). This ligand-receptor interaction stimulates EphA1 signaling and regulates cell morphology and motility through the ILK-RhoA-ROCK pathway (7). The EphA1 gene has been associated with late-onset Alzheimer's diseases (8,9). The role of EphA1 in cancer development falls into two opposite categories. In some type of cancer such as prostate, gastric and liver cancer, high expression of EphA1 associates with cancer metastasis and invasion (10-12). For other types of cancers, such as colon cancer and nonmelanoma skin cancer, down-regulation of the protein correlates with cancer development (13,14). The bidirectional signaling modulation of Ephrin-Ephrin receptor interaction might contribute this paradox phenomena (15).
