The 6-His antibody recognizes a very short amino acid sequence epitope that is widely and commonly used as a protein fusion tag, often at the N- or C-terminus of protein constructs. It is a very powerful investigative research toolfor applications such as immunochemistry, protein purification, ELISA purification, and protein localization. While the tab may contain anywhere from 2-10 residues, this 6-His refers to the most common form - the six residue tag. The 6-His tag yields a relatively pure protein in affinity purification methods and unlike other tags that rely upon native conformations, 6-His is ideal for purification under denaturing conditions.
