The FtsZ Antibody (PAC053430) is a polyclonal antibody designed for research involving FtsZ, a key protein involved in bacterial cell division. This antibody, generated in rabbits, is highly specific and reactive with bacterial samples, making it ideal for use in various research applications.FtsZ is a highly conserved protein that plays a crucial role in the process of bacterial cell division by forming a contractile ring at the division site. Understanding the function and regulation of FtsZ is essential for studying bacterial cell division and potentially identifying new targets for antibiotics.
This antibody is validated for use in techniques such as Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry, allowing for the detection and localization of FtsZ in bacterial cells. Its high specificity and sensitivity make it a valuable tool for researchers studying bacterial cell biology, antibiotic resistance, and drug development.

Background:
Essential cell division protein that forms a contractile ring structure (Z ring) at the future cell division site. The regulation of the ring assembly controls the timing and the location of cell division. One of the functions of the FtsZ ring is to recruit other cell division proteins to the septum to produce a new cell wall between the dividing cells. Binds GTP and shows GTPase activity.
Synonyms:
Cell division protein FtsZ, ftsZ
