Antibody & Protein
The molecular weight in the literature is different from that in the manual. Why are there several molecular weights for the same index?

Because the same protein in different types of cells may have different post-transcriptional splicing bodies and post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation, ubiquitination, etc., the molecular weight is not the only constant. In addition, the protein You can find on the official Uniprot website that the molecular weights of different subtypes of proteins are different. Therefore, there will be a certain difference between the molecular weight found in the literature and the molecular weight of the antibody in the instructions. (You can check some literature references to confirm the molecular weight of the target protein in the target sample).
