Kif5b antibody | knockout validation | BioLegend 908901 / DSHB SUK 4

This is a knockout-validated antibody summary, based on the publication "Kinesin-1 controls mast cell degranulation and anaphylaxis through PI3K-dependent recruitment to the granular Slp3/Rab27b complex", as cited below [1]. This clone was also validated for Western blot in the article "A small-molecule activator of kinesin-1 drives remodeling of the microtubule network" (see figure 3c) [2]. Labome curates formal publications to compile a list of antibodies with unambiguous specificity within Validated Antibody Database (VAD).
