Background Information
Protein tags are protein or peptide sequences located either on the C- or N- terminal of the target protein, which facilitates one or several of the following characteristics: solubility, detection, purification, localization and expression. The DYKDDDDK(FLAG) peptide has been used extensively as a general tag in expression vectors. This peptide can be expressed and detected with the protein of interest as an amino-terminal or carboxy-terminal fusion. N-terminal DDDDK vectors provide an Ek cleavage site for removal of the fusion tag. The DDDDK peptide is likely to be located on the surface of a fusion protein because of its hydrophilic nature. As a result, the DDDDK peptide is more likely to be accessible to antibodies. A DDDDK-tag can be used in many different assays that require recognition by an antibody, such as western blotting, immunocytochemistry, immunoprecipitation, flow cytometry, protein purification, and in the study of protein-protein interactions, cell ultrastructure, and protein localization and so on. This antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against 3xFlag (3xDYKDDDDKT) sequence and recognizes the (1x) and (3x)DYKDDDDK peptide and detects DDDDK-tagged proteins. Anti-FLAG is a registered trademark of Sigma-Aldrich Biotechnology.
