This MAb reacts with a protein of 20-30 kDa, identified as PGP 9.5, also known as ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase-1 (UCHL-1). Initially, PGP 9.5 expression in normal tissues was reported in neurons and neuroendocrine cells but later it was found in distal renal tubular epithelium, spermatogonia, Leydig cells, oocytes, melanocytes, prostatic secretory epithelium, ejaculatory duct cells, epididymis, mammary epithelial cells, Merkel cells, and dermal fibroblasts. Furthermore, immunostaining for PGP 9.5 has been shown in a wide variety of mesenchymal neoplasms as well. A mutation in PGP 9.5 gene is believed to cause a form of Parkinson's disease.

CF® dyes are Biotium's next-generation fluorescent dyes. CF®488A is a green fluorescent dye (Ex/Em 490/515 nm) with excellent brightness and photostability. The dye is minimally charged for less non-specific binding. CF®488A also is compatible with super-resolution imaging by TIRF.
