DYKDDDDK Tag ( Equivalent To FLAG Antibody From Sigma ) with the following sequence DYKDDDDK, is a hydrophilic tag for recombinant protein technology. Tags can be used as a tool to localize gene products in a variety of cell types, study proteins topology, and also help to identify and characterize new, low abundance or poorly immunogenic proteins. Due to its high hydrophilic character, the DKYDDDDK tag is likely to be located on the surface of a fusion protein, which enables the tag to be accessible for antibodies. DYKDDDDK Tag Antibody is generated against 1xDYKDDDDK tag (DYKDDDDK) and can recognize protein containing one or more DYKDDDDK tags, independently on N-terminal, C-terminal or internal regions of the target protein.
