Cy3 Rabbit Anti-Goat IgG (H+L) Antibody Guide
2026-09-22
The Cy3 Rabbit Anti-Goat IgG (H+L) Antibody provides fluorescent detection of goat IgG primary antibodies in ICC/IF, frozen and paraffin IHC, flow cytometry, and compatible ELISA workflows. It should not be used as a direct probe for antigens, as a universal secondary antibody for other host species, or in live-cell assays without addressing its preservative formulation.

Fzd5 Links Cholesterol to Wnt Signaling in Cancer
2026-09-20
The reference study identifies Frizzled5 (Fzd5) as a cholesterol-sensitive Wnt receptor that connects abnormal lipid metabolism with β-catenin signaling in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Its findings suggest that receptor lipidation, maturation, and trafficking are regulatory points through which cholesterol supports Wnt-dependent tumor growth, while 25-hydroxysterol provides a mechanistic route for pathway inhibition.
