Organelle Markers

Knowledge of the subcellular location of a protein may reveal the potential role it plays in a variety of cellular processes. Colocalization with one of the organelle-specific reagents listed here can confirm the subcellular location of a protein of interest. While these organelle markers serve as powerful tools for immunofluorescence, they may also be used as western blot controls for fractionated cell lysates.

Expression of these proteins may vary in different cells and tissues.
