The original DYKDDDDK peptide (the same epitope recognized by Sigma's Anti-FLAG®** antibodies) was an 11-amino-acid leader peptide of the gene-10 product from bacteriophage T7 fused at the amino-terminus of GAL4 (yeast transcription factor). The binding reaction of this tag to the anti-DYKDDDDK antibody is calcium-dependent, so proteins can frequently be eluted from an affinity matrix by buffers containing EDTA. It also allows for the tag to be placed at the amino terminus (N-terminus), at the carboxy terminus (C-terminus), or in association with other tags.

The FLAG sequence DYKDDDDK is frequently used for affinity purification. Synthetic FLAG peptide by LifeTein was used in the elution buffer to purify lipin 1 protein. It was found that the Lipin 1 preferentially binds di-anionic phosphatidic acid and this is eliminated by phosphorylation.
