FLAG Tag Antibody

FLAG-Tag, or FLAG octapeptide, or FLAG epitope, is a polypeptide protein tag that can be added to a protein using recombinant DNA technology, having the sequence motif DYKDDDDK. It represents an early example of a nanotechnology device, in that it can be attached to a protein like a molecular handle, then used to manipulate the protein, and subsequently detached. It has been used for studying proteins in living cells and for protein purification by affinity chromatography.
