Hepatocyte Specific Antigen, also known as Hep-Par1, has proven to be strongly useful in the detection of both benign and malignant liver-derived tissues, and associated tumours such as hepatoblastoma and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The pathological diagnosis of HCC is often difficult as it shares histological and cytological features with adenoid cystic carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma. Hep-Par1 is indicated as an effective marker to distinguish between these mimics, and therefore aids in the differential diagnosis of HCC.

The Human Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporter 1 (hENT1) mediates the cellular uptake of physiologic nucleosides, including adenosine, as well as many anti-cancer drugs including gemcitabine, cytarabine, and decitabine. Deficiency of hENT1 can lead to resistance of such drugs, and the abundance of hENT1 protein in the plasma membrane is a major indicator of the efficiency and clinical outcome of these anti-cancer nucleosides.

<em>Helicobacter pylori</em> are spiral-shaped, gram-negative bacteria that inhabit the mucosal lining of the gastric epithelium. Infection with <em>H. pylori</em> is strongly associated with many gastroduodenal diseases, including intestinal-type carcinomas, peptic and gastric ulcers, and chronic gastritis. There is evidence linking these bacteria to gastric and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphomas, and <em>H. pylori</em> has also been indicated as a risk factor for colorectal polyps in children.

Cluster of Differentiation 73 (CD73), also known as Ecto-5'-Nucleotidase (ecto-5'-NT), is a cell surface enzyme found in most tissues. CD73 catalyzes the breakdown of AMP to adenosine, thereby modulating inflammatory and T-cell responses. Reports have implicated CD73 expression in tumour progression and carcinogenesis, as CD73 is a key regulatory molecule in the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cancer cells <em>in vitro</em>, as well as tumour angiogenesis and tumour immune escape <em>in vivo</em>. Due to this key involvement in cancer, CD73 has become an appealing target for cancer immunotherapy. CD73 expression has also been linked to favourable prognosis in breast carcinoma.

Cluster of Differentiation 71 (CD71), also known as Transferrin Receptor Protein 1 (TfR1) or the transferrin receptor, is a cell surface proliferation marker that is involved in the cellular uptake of iron. CD71 is most highly expressed in early erythroid precursors and is fully absent from mature erythrocytes; CD71 is therefore highly useful as a marker for erythroid components within bone marrow biopsy specimens, without interference from mature erythrocytes. CD71 expression has been indicated in invasive breast carcinoma with acquired resistance to tamoxifen, and has been linked to poor prognosis in ER+/luminal-like breast cancer. Anti-CD71 is used in the determination of erythroid leukemia, benign erythroid proliferative disorders, and myelodysplastic syndrome.

Cluster of Differentiation 7 (CD7) is an antigen expressed in immature and mature T-lymphocytes, thymocytes, peripheral blood T-cells, natural killer cells, myeloid precursors, fetal liver and bone marrow, a small subpopulation of normal B-cells, and malignant B-cells. The antigen belongs to the immunoglobulin gene superfamily, and plays an important role in T-cell interactions and T-cell/B-cell interactions during early lymphoid development. CD7 is indicated as a marker for acute myelogenous leukemia and chronic myelogenous leukemia, and for neoplastic proliferations such as T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma. Anti-CD7, when used in adjunct with Anti-CD4, is useful for differentiating mycosis fungoides or Sézary syndrome (both cutaneous T-cell lymphomas) from benign dermatoses.

Cluster of Differentiation 68 (CD68) is a heavily glycosylated transmembrane antigen that is detected in lysosomes, tissue macrophages, Langerhans cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, Kupffer cells, osteoclasts, and granulocytes. Anti-CD68 may be useful in identifying myelomonocytic and histiocytic tumours, and for differentiating between malignant fibrous histiocytoma and other pleomorphic sarcomas. However, other lysosome-rich cells may also stain, since Anti-CD68 detects a formalin-resistant epitope that may be associated with lysosomal granules.

Cluster of Differentiation 5 (CD5) is expressed in high levels on the surface of T-cells, while the expression levels and role of CD5 in B-cells is not well documented. As a part of a diagnostic panel, its utility lies predominantly as a marker for T-cells, with over 70% of T-cell neoplasms expressing CD5. In particular, it is correlated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma, as well as a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. CD5 demonstrates positive expression in thymic carcinomas, and is not as sensitive as CD3. CD5 also has value as a prognostic indicator, as it is associated with poor prognosis in acute T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia.
BAP1 (BRCA1 associated protein-1 or ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BAP1 gene. BAP1 encodes an 80.4 kDa nuclear-localizing protein with a ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase (UCH) domain that gives BAP1 its deubiquitinase activity. In cancer, BAP1 can function both as a tumor suppressor and as a metastasis suppressor.

BAP1 (BRCA1 associated protein-1 or ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase) is a deubiquitinating enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BAP1 gene. BAP1 encodes an 80.4 kDa nuclear-localizing protein with a ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase (UCH) domain that gives BAP1 its deubiquitinase activity. In cancer, BAP1 can function both as a tumor suppressor and as a metastasis suppressor.

B7H4 is a glycosylated transmembrane protein of the B7 family. It binds to activated T cells to moderate the T cell responses via cell cycle arrest in the T cell. Reverse signaling can induce either cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in the B7H4 expressing cell. B7H4 is up-regulated in several carcinomas in correlation with tumor progression and metastasis. A soluble form of B7H4 is elevated in the serum of ovarian cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and rheumatoid arthritis patients, also in correlation with advanced disease status.

Arginase-1, encoded by the ARG1 gene, is a cytosolic metalloenzyme expressed predominantly in hepatocytes. Arginase-1 plays a key role in the urea cycle by catalyzing the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine and urea. Argininemia is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a buildup of arginine and ammonia in the blood. Anti-Arginase-1 is highly specific for hepatocytes, and is therefore a sensitive and specific marker of benign and malignant hepatic tumours.

Annexin A1 (ANXA1) is a membrane protein that plays a role in innate and adaptive immunity by controlling the biosynthesis of inflammation, prostaglandins, and leukotriene mediators. This target is overexpressed in 97% of all samples from patients with hairy cell leukemia, and is absent in other B-cell lymphomas. High ANXA1 expression is frequently associated with advanced stage esophageal and esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma, and is also linked to advanced and metastatic disease states.

Androgen Receptor (AR) is a transcriptional regulator with a broad array of functions. This marker is clinically significant in the understanding of tumour progression and tumour aggressiveness. The detection of AR by immunohistochemical staining is important for diagnosis of all types of prostate carcinoma, including both therapy-responsive and therapy-unresponsive disease states. Co-testing with AR and CK20 is used for differential diagnosis of desmoplastic trichoepithelioma (DTE) [CK20+/AR-], morpheaform basal cell carcinoma (BCC) [CK20-/AR+], and microcystic adnexal carcinoma (MAC) [CK20-/AR-].

Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase which plays a role in brain and nervous system development. ALK is typically expressed at low levels in regions of the developing central and peripheral nervous system, such as the neonatal brain and spinal cord. The most common genetic alterations of this gene are chromosomal translocations, which result in multiple ALK fusion proteins that are involved in tumourigenesis, as in the case of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), lung adenocarcinoma, and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours. Aberrant ALK expression is also found in other tumours such as familial neuroblastoma, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), and brain cancers.

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH or Corticotropin) is a peptidic hormone synthesized in the anterior pituitary gland. The primary application of Anti-ACTH is in the identification of pituitary tumours and the study of pituitary disease. The Anti-ACTH antibody reacts with ACTH-producing cells (corticotrophs). It may also cause paraneoplastic syndromes by secreting ACTH from other tumours, such as some small cell carcinomas of the lung.

5-methylcytosine (5-mC) is formed from the DNA methylation of the 5-carbon found on the cytosine ring. A 5-methylcytosine monoclonal antibody is a useful tool in identifying and discriminating between the unmodified cytosine base (C) and the methylated cytosine base (5-mC) as part of DNA methylation studies. DNA methylation plays an important role in the repression of transcription in the genome. When present in promoter regions, 5-mC is associated with stable transcriptional silencing which results in inactivation of gene function, thereby having an important role in tumorigenesis.

HQ-O Ready-To-Dilute (RTD TM ) Stain Reagent is designed to label amyloid plaques in paraffin-embedded or freshly cut frozen tissue sections. As a fluorescent zinc chelator, HQ-O is unique as it takes advantage of the known presence of concentrated zinc in amyloid plaques. Studies with HQ-O revealed that fluorescent plaque-like structures are only seen when synthetic A?x-42 is aggregated in the presence of zinc. Under blue light excitation, plaque structures appear bright green fluorescent in the brain parenchyma, correlating closely with plaque structures observed following A? antibody staining. HQ-O RTD TM staining reagent is compatible with other fluorophores, such as DAPI, Hoechst and ethidium bromide, as well as fluorescent-labelled antibodies with emission spectra in the blue and/or red emission range of fluorescent microscopes. Due to its zinc-chelating characteristics, HQ-O RTD TM staining reagent may visualize globular structures within blood vessels and intravascular leucocytes. HQ-O RTD TM staining reagent has multiple advantages over older blue-light exciting stains such as Thioflavin S. Thioflavin S typically exhibits relatively low contrast and resolution and suffers from bleed-through when excited by wavelengths other than blue light. HQ-O RTD TM staining reagent suffers none of these setbacks and not only provides a higher contrast and longer lasting dye, but because it lacks excitation bleed-through, HQ-O can be readily adapted to multiple labelling studies very easily. To visualize the HQ-O tracer, it is recommended to use a filter cube designed for visualizing Fluorescein/FITC or a blue-light laser. Although it can be seen with both narrow and wide-band pass filters, there is no need to use a narrow band filter since the compound does not bleed through when excited with other filters. A recommended excitation range of a wide band filter is 447-503 nm, with a peak at 475.
Background Info:
A novel zinc chelator, HQ-O, was developed for localizing zinc within amyloid plaques. The histology involves incubating tissue sections in a dilute aqueous solution of HQ-O.

The Biosensis AG-400-AG kit utilizes an ethidium bromide counter stain for a quick and effective way to visualize cell nuclei and cell bodies of cells while under UV illumination allowing the assessment of amyloid plaques and cell/tissue positioning as well in one step. Amylo-Glo RTD Ready to Dilute Staining reagent is designed to stain amyloid plaques in tissue sections. This novel marker has several advantages over other conventional markers such as Thioflavin S and Congo Red because of its unique chemical and spectral properties. (L. Schmued et al. (2012) J.Neuroscience Methods 209:120- 126). Using Amylo-Glo results in a very bright blue UV excitable stain under physiological conditions that will not bleed through when illuminated with other filters. Its brightness makes it ideal for low magnification quantification studies, while its unique excitation/emission profile and mild staining conditions makes it ideal for combination for multiple immunofluorescent labeling studies. Amylo-Glo RTD is compatible with fresh, frozen, and formalin-fixed immunohistochemistry or cytochemistry, and it is particularly good for confocal and multiple labeling because of its high fluorescent intensity and high resistance to photo-bleaching. Moreover because Amylo-Glo fluoresces in the UV channel, double and triple labeling experiments can be performed very easily (see protocol).

The causes and effects of neuronal degeneration are of major interest to a wide variety of neuroscientists. Paralleling this growing interest is an increasing number of methods applicable to the detection of neuronal degeneration. Fluoro-Jade C stains all degenerating neurons regardless of specific insult or mechanism of cell death. Fluoro-Jade C exhibits the greatest signal to background ratio, as well as the highest resolution. This translates to a stain of maximal contrast and affinity for degenerating neurons. This makes it ideal for localising not only degenerating nerve cell bodies but also distal dendrites, axons and terminals. The dye is highly resistant to fading and is compatible with virtually all histological processing and staining protocols. Note: This product is equivalent to discontinued product AG325 from Merck-Millipore.

Use:
For research use only.
Kit Components:
Materials Provided: 30 mg Fluoro-Jade C, dry powder Detailed protocol Equipment and Reagents Required: Distilled water ACS grade Ethanol (200 proof) for slide & solution preparation 1% sodium hydroxide in 80% ethanol (basic alcohol solution) 0.1% Acetic Acid solution (in water) 70% ethanol in distilled water 0.06% (KMnO4) potassium permanganate solution DAPI powder or 100X solution (working range is 0.5-5 µg/mL) Xylene liquid Staining dishes/Coplin jars Cover slips DPX mounting media or another permanent mounting medium. Non-polar media are preferred over aqueous mounting media such as glycerin/water to obtain high- contrast images (refer to Appendix B in the protocol for a comparative analysis). Traditional fluorescent mounting mediums are not recommended because of their high pH. Slide warmer Convection oven
Specificity:
Degenerating neurons, and neuronal degeneration. There is no specific staining in normal healthy brain. Note: Some researchers under some conditions report blood vessel staining with Fluoro Jade. This may be because Fluoro Jade is an analogue of eosin (which stains blood cells). In general, good perfusion and preparation of the tissue should help prevent blood vessel staining but it may not be possible to eliminate it entirely. In our experience it is generally possible to distinguish neuronal from blood vessels staining by eye.
Storage:
The powdered dye can be stored desiccated at room temperature in the dark. Storage in a desiccator is recommended as FJB is hydroscopic. The 0.01% stock solution will remain stable for 3 months when stored in a refrigerator, in the dark. The 0.0001-0.0004% working solution in 0.1% acetic acid should be used within 4 hours of preparation. Diluted FJB dye solutions are not stable and should not be stored. The other diluted solutions can be reused and stored for up to 48 hours if refrigerated and protected from light. Best results require freshly diluted solutions.
Purification:
Silica TLC (acetanitrile/water, 6/4) revealed the presence of 2 fluorescent spots, presumably corresponding to the mono and di sulphate homologues. The presence of precursors or free fluorescein was not detected.
The causes and effects of neuronal degeneration are of major interest to a wide variety of neuroscientists. Paralleling this growing interest is an increasing number of methods applicable to the detection of neuronal degeneration. The fluorescent dye Fluoro-Jade B (FJB), like its more purified brother Fluoro-Jade C (FJC), is an anionic fluorescein derivative useful for the histological staining of neurons undergoing degeneration. Fluoro-Jade B differs from FJC in that it is a slightly less refined chemical formulation and thus it does not quite provide the same level of signal to noise or high resolution as FJC. Nonetheless FJB is still widely used and works very well as a marker of degenerating neurons and even glia (see Damjanac M et al., Brain Res. 2007;1128(1):40-9). FJB operates nearly identically in protocol to that of FJC, and Fluoro-Jade B is compatible with several other labeling procedures including immunofluorescent and fluorescent Nissl techniques. Fluoro-Jade B stains all degenerating neurons regardless of specific insult or mechanism of cell death. Fluoro-Jade B exhibits the greatest signal to background ratio, as well as the highest resolution. This translates to a stain of maximal contrast and affinity for degenerating neurons. This makes it ideal for localising not only degenerating nerve cell bodies but also distal dendrites, axons and terminals. The dye is highly resistant to fading and is compatible with virtually all histological processing and staining protocols.

Specificity:
Degenerating neurons, and neuronal degeneration. There is no specific staining in normal healthy brain. Note: Some researchers under some conditions report blood vessel staining with Fluoro Jade. This may be because Fluoro Jade is an analogue of eosin (which stains blood cells). In general, good perfusion and preparation of the tissue should help prevent blood vessel staining but it may not be possible to eliminate it entirely. In our experience it is generally possible to distinguish neuronal from blood vessels staining by eye.
Storage:
The unopened kit can be stored for up to 6 months at 2-8ºC after the date of receipt. The kit and components should be stored protected from light. Diluted FJC dye solutions are not stable and should be used within 4 hours of making. The other diluted solutions can be reused and stored for up to 48 hours if refrigerated and protected from light. Best results require freshly diluted solutions. We recommend using aseptic techniques when handling the reagents to avoid bacterial growth and contamination.<br><br>The FJC Ready to dilute kit is shipped ambient and stable at room temperature during transport. Refrigerate upon arrival, do not freeze.
The causes and effects of neuronal degeneration are of major interest to a wide variety of neuroscientists. Paralleling this growing interest is an increasing number of methods applicable to the detection of neuronal degeneration. Fluoro-Jade C stains all degenerating neurons regardless of specific insult or mechanism of cell death. Fluoro-Jade C exhibits the greatest signal to background ratio, as well as the highest resolution. This translates to a stain of maximal contrast and affinity for degenerating neurons. This makes it ideal for localising not only degenerating nerve cell bodies but also distal dendrites, axons and terminals. The dye is highly resistant to fading and is compatible with virtually all histological processing and staining protocols.

Black-Gold II is a novel haloaurophosphate complex which localises myelin within the central nervous system. The Black Gold II Ready-to-Dilute (RTD) Staining Kit allows you to localise myelin, both individual fibres and tracts, along with the option of co-localising cell bodies via the Toluidine Blue counter stain. Black Gold II labelled myelinated fibres appear nearly black while the Toluidine Blue O labelled cellular Nissl bodies are blue under bright field illumination. Black Gold II can demonstrate and characterise specific myelin changes associated with exposure to diverse neurotoxicants including kainic acid, domoic acid, 3-nitropropionic acid, Fluoro-Gold and isoniazid. Black Gold II can also be combined with other histochemical markers including Nissl stains, retrogradely transported fluorescent tracers and fluorescent markers of neuronal degeneration. The advantages associated with the Black-Gold II include high resolution, high contrast, short histochemical processing time, versatility and consistent reproducibility.

Applications:
IHC-Frozen,IHC-non-Paraffin-embedded
Application Details:
Black Gold II is a high resolution myelin stain with amyloid plaque counter stain. Its use is tailored to studies using formalin or paraformaldehyde fixed, non-paraffin embedded, non-solvent processed brain tissue. It can be used with both thick and thin sections. For thick sections, gelatin coated slides or slides specially designed to bind tissues sections should be use to avoid section loss. Free-floating sections can be used as well but sections are easier to handle and transfer when mounted on slides. A suggested method for thick sections is provided as a guide: Either frozen or vibratome sections are cut at a thickness of 20-50 ?m and collected in 0.1 M neutral phosphate buffer. The sections are then typically mounted on 1% gel-coated slides and then air dried on a slide warmer (at 50°C) for at least an hour until throughly dried and adhered to the slide. The sections can be stained loose, although the sections are easier to handle when mounted on slides. The mounted sections were rehydrated in distilled water for 2 minutes before being processed in the staining solutions.

Sheep anti-Alpha-synuclein Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded.
Background Info:
Alpha synuclein is an abundant 140 amino acid neuronal protein, expressed primarily at presynaptic terminals in the central nervous system. Alpha synuclein has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. A point mutation in the gene coding for the alpha-synuclein protein was the first discovery linking this protein to a rare familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD). Subsequently, other mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene have been identified in familial PD. The aggregated proteinaceous inclusions called Lewy bodies found in PD and cortical Lewy body dementia (LBD) were discovered to be predominantly alpha-synuclein. Aberrant aggregation of alpha-synuclein has been detected in an increasing number of neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as synucleopathies. Alpha-synuclein exists physiologically in both soluble and membrane-bound states, in unstructured and alpha-helical conformations, respectively. The physiological function of alpha-synuclein appears to require its translocation between these subcellular compartments and interconversion between the 2 conformations. Abnormal processing of alpha-synuclein is predicted to lead to pathological changes in its binding properties and function.

Glutathione peroxidase 1 has a role in detoxification of hydrogen peroxide and is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes in humans. It exists as a homotetramer which localises to the cytoplasm. It belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family. Glutathione peroxidase 1 is one of few proteins in higher vertebrates to contain selenocysteine, which occurs at the active site of glutathione peroxidase and is coded by UGA, that normally functions as a translation termination codon. This protein has a polyalanine sequence polymorphism in the N-terminal region, which includes three alleles with five, six or seven alanine repeats. The allele with five alanine repeats is significantly associated with breast cancer risk. Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been identified.

LRRK2 is a member of the leucine-rich repeat kinase family. It role is yet unknown but it may play a role in the phoshorylation of proteins central to parkinson diseases. LRRK2 contains an ankryin repeat region, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, a kinase domain, a DFG-like motif, a RAS domain, a GTPase domain, a mLK-like domain and a WD40 domain. LRRK2 is present in the cytoplasm but also associates with the mitochondrial outer membrane. Defects in LRRK2 are the cause of Parkinson disease 8 (PARK8). Parkinson disease is characterised by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability, as well as by a clinically significant response to treatment with levodopa. The pathology involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. PARK8 is an autosomal-dominant late-onset parkinsonism, characterized by onset from 50 to 65 years, with slow progression and relatively benign course.

Sheep anti-Gamma-synuclein Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Gamma synuclein belongs to the synuclein family which are believed to be involve in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. High levels of gamma synuclein have been identified in andvanced breast carcinomas suggesting a correlation between gamma synuclein overexpression and breast tumor development. Gama synuclein plays a role in neurofilament network integrity. May be involved in modulating axonal architecture during development and in the adult. In vitro, increases the susceptibility of neurofilament-H to calcium-dependent proteases. May also function in modulating the keratin network in skin. Activates the MAPK and Elk-1 signal transduction pathway. SUBUNIT: May be a centrosome-associated protein. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; perinuclear region. Centrosome. Spindle. Associated with centrosomes in several interphase cells. In mitotic cells, localized to the poles of the spindle. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in brain, particularly in the substantia nigra. Also expressed in the corpus callosum, heart, skeletal muscle, ovary, testis, colon and spleen. Weak expression in pancreas, kidney and lung. PTM: Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation by GRK5 appears to occur on residues distinct from the residue phosphorylated by other kinases. DISEASE: Brain iron accumulation type 1 (NBIA1, also called Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome), a rare neuroaxonal dystrophy, is histologically characterized by axonal spheroids, iron deposition, Lewy body (LB)-like intraneuronal inclusions, glial inclusions and neurofibrillary tangles.

Applications:
WB
Antibody Isotype:
IgG
Application Details:
<br><b>Immunohistochemistry</b>: Antibody detects Cxn 40 in rat tissues and arterial endothelial cells. The authors report that the density of Cx40 plaques was significantly greater in the caudal artery (CA) than in the thoracic aorta (ThA), whereas no such difference was seen for Cx37 and Cx43. Expression of Cx40 was absent from the media of both thoracic and caudal artery tissues (see Rummery, NM et al 2002 for more staining specifics). <br><b>Published Method</b>: Unfixed 10 µm thick sections cryosections or lightly fixed (2% paraformaldehyde in 0.1 mol/L sodium phosphate buffer) whole mount sections have been tested, see Rummery, NM et al 2002). Pretreatments include pre-incubation for 30 minutes in a blocking solution of 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA), 0.2% Triton-X in PBS, followed by primary antibody incubation. Antibody was used at 1:100 to 1:250 for 1 hour in the original work but Biosensis recommends optimizing the conditions for the best results. Original detection was via Cy3- conjugated anti-goat immunoglobulins (Jackson Immunoresearch Laboratories Inc, PA, 1:100) in 0.01% Triton-X in PBS, but other secondary conditions should work as well once optimized. In the original work the specificity of each antibody was tested by incubation either without primary antibody or with primary antibody that had previously been pre-incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with 10-fold excess by weight of the peptide against which the antibody was raised. (Adapted from Rummery, NM et al 2002).<br><b>Western Blot</b>: <U>Antibody is not recommended for western blots by Biosensis</u>, however, it does react in westerns with Cxn 40 specific material. The authors report that the antibody develops numerous bands in westerns blots, only some of which are removed upon peptide treatment (see Rummery, NM et al 2002). The Cx40/254 antibody specifically recognized a band of 40 kDa from lung, caudal artery (CA), and thoracic aorta (ThA) but not liver (online Figure VIIA, +/- peptide). In the lung, however, a band at 45 kDa also appeared to be reduced with Cxn 40 peptide addition.<br><b>Published Method</b>: Brain, heart, liver, lung, thoracic aorta and caudal arteries were removed from 5-6 week old Wistar rats and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen Tissues were ground under liquid nitrogen in a mortar and pestle and resuspended in 1mL of lysis buffer (1 mM NaHCO3 pH 7.05, 10 mM EDTA, 10 mM Iodoacetamide, 10 mM tetra-sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM PMSF and 1 µg/mL each of antipain, aprotinin, pepstatin-A, chymostatin and leupeptin). Tissues were further disrupted by grinding in a polytron blender. Unbroken cells and large debris were removed by centrifugation at 1000 g for 5 minutes at 4oC, the supernatant was then removed and centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 minutes. The pellet was discarded, and the supernatant centrifuged at 20000 g for 15 minutes at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the membrane-enriched pellet was resuspended in lysis buffer. Protein concentration was measured using the Bio-Rad protein assay kit. Membrane-bound connexins were subsequently solubilized by incubation in 2x SDS sample buffer (5% SDS, 125 mM Tris-Cl (pH 6.8), 20% glycerol, 2 mM _- mercaptoethanol, 0.1% (w/v) bromophenol blue) for 60 minutes at 37°C. Aliquots containing 5 µg of protein were separated by SDS-PAGE on 12% polyacrylamide gels and blotted onto PVDF membranes. Blots were probed with sheep antibodies against Cx40 (1:1000, Cx40/254) and detected via ECL using anti-Goat poly HRP secondary antibodies 1:4000, 1 hr. (<I>adapted from Rummery, NM et al 2002</I>).Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Sheep anti-Pan-synuclein Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Detects human alpha-, beta-, and gamma synuclein proteins. A family of homologous proteins known as alpha-, beta-, and gamma-synuclein are abundantly expressed in brain, especially in the presynaptic terminal of neurons. Although the precise function of these proteins remains unknown, alpha-synuclein has been implicated in synaptic plasticity associated with avian song learning as well as in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with LBs (DLB), some forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD), and multiple system atrophy (MSA).

Sheep anti-Alpha-synuclein Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Alpha synuclein is an abundant 140 amino acid neuronal protein, expressed primarily at presynaptic terminals in the central nervous system. Alpha synuclein has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. A point mutation in the gene coding for the alpha-synuclein protein was the first discovery linking this protein to a rare familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD). Subsequently, other mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene have been identified in familial PD. The aggregated proteinaceous inclusions called Lewy bodies found in PD and cortical Lewy body dementia (LBD) were discovered to be predominantly alpha-synuclein. Aberrant aggregation of alpha-synuclein has been detected in an increasing number of neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as synucleopathies. Alpha-synuclein exists physiologically in both soluble and membrane-bound states, in unstructured and alpha-helical conformations, respectively. The physiological function of alpha-synuclein appears to require its translocation between these subcellular compartments and interconversion between the 2 conformations. Abnormal processing of alpha-synuclein is predicted to lead to pathological changes in its binding properties and function.

Sheep anti-Myelin basic protein (MBP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the nervous tissue and functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of the stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin isolated from human and bovine nervous tissue is composed of approximately 80% lipid and 20% protein, and 30% of the protein fraction constitutes myelin basic protein (MBP). MBP is an 'intrinsically unstructured' protein with a high proportion (approximately 75%) of random coil, but postulated to have core elements of beta-sheet and alpha-helix. MBP is a major protein in CNS myelin and is expressed specifically in the nervous system. A detailed immunochemical examination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibody responses to MBP and its peptides has revealed the existence of as many as 27 antigenic determinants, many of them conformational. Topological mapping of the potential antigenic determinants onto a model of MBP secondary structure places these determinants within 11 separate regions of the molecule, including those portions that have been found to be encephalitogenic. The message for myelin basic protein is selectively translocated to the ends of the cell processes. Immunization with myelin-associated antigens including MBP significantly promotes recovery after spinal cord contusion injury in the rat model. FUNCTION: Is, with PLP, the most abundant protein component of the myelin membrane in the CNS. Has a role in both the formation and stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. Each splice variant and charge isomer may have a specialized function in the assembly of an optimized, biochemically functional myelin membrane (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Myelin membrane; peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic side of myelin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in both the central and the peripheral nervous system. PTM: At least 5 charge isomers; C1 (the most cationic, least modified, and most abundant form), C2, C3, C4 and C5 (the least cationic form); are produced as a result of optional posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation of serine or threonine residues, deamidation of glutamine or asparagine residues, citrullination and methylation of arginine residues. C1 and C2 are unphosphorylated, C3 and C4 are monophosphorylated and C5 is phosphorylated at two positions. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the myelin basic protein family.

GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein.

Fox3 is one of a family of mammalian homologues of Fox-1. The Fox proteins are about 46 kDa in size, and each includes a central highly conserved RRM type RNA recognition motif. Much interest has focused on Fox3 as a result of the recent finding that this protein corresponds to NeuN, a neuronal nuclear antigen. NeuN/Fox-3 has a function in RNA splicing and is expressed heavily and specifically in neuronal nuclei and cytoplasm. Our antibody was raised against the N-terminal 100 amino acids of human Fox3 as expressed in and purified from E. coli. We did not use full length Fox3 as immunogen since the three mammalian Fox homologues, namely Fox1, Fox2 and Fox3, include virtually identical RRM motifs. The N-terminal region of the three molecules are much more variable in the three molecules so antibodies specific for each of the three molecules can therefore be generated.

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody to Neurofilament NF-L C-terminus (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IF, ICC.
Background Info:
Neurofilaments are the 10nm or intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called NF-L, NF-M and NF-H, though other filament proteins may be included also. The major function of neurofilaments is likely to control the diameter of large axons. NF-L is the neurofilament light or low molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at 68-70kDa with some variability across species. Antibodies to NF-L are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in cell culture and sectioned material. NF-L antibody can also be useful for the visualization of neurofilament rich accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Gehrigs disease (ALS), giant axon neuropathy, Charcot-Marie Tooth disease and others.

Rabbit anti-Microtubule-associated protein Tau (MAPT) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ELISA.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; cytosol. Cell membrane. Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 8 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Additional isoforms seem to exist. Isoforms differ from each other by the presence or absence of up to 5 of the 15 exons. One of these optional exons contains the additional tau/MAP repeat. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in neurons. Isoform PNS-tau is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Four-repeat (type II) tau is expressed in an adult-specific manner and is not found in fetal brain, whereas three-repeat (type I) tau is found in both adult and fetal brain. DOMAIN: The tau/MAP repeat binds to tubulin. In Alzheimer disease, the neuronal cytoskeleton in the brain is progressively disrupted and replaced by tangles of paired helical filaments and straight filaments, mainly composed of hyperphosphorylated forms of Microtubule-associated protein Tau. Defects in Microtubule-associated protein Tau are a cause of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, as well as a number of other neurodegenerative diseases.

Rabbit anti-Green fluorescent protein (GFP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC.
Background Info:
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. It has an endogenous fluorochrome activity with excitation maximum at 395nm and emission maximum at 509 nm, which is similar to that of fluorescein. GFP can be expressed in fluorescent form in essentially any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell. This GFP rabbit antibody was made against a recombinant GFP construct originating from an Aequoria species which was engineered to improve spectral properties and prevent oligomerization (1). This form of GFP, referred to as AcGFP, is 94% identical to the eGFP developed by Tsien and co-workers. The antibody can be used to verify the expression, size and stability of both AcGFP and eGFP fusion proteins in western blotting experiments and to amplify GFP signals in tissues of transgenic animals.

LRRK2 is a member of the leucine-rich repeat kinase family. Its role is yet unknown but it may play a role in the phoshorylation of proteins central to parkinson diseases. LRRK2 contains an ankryin repeat region, a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, a kinase domain, a DFG-like motif, a RAS domain, a GTPase domain, a mLK-like domain and a WD40 domain. LRRK2 is present in the cytoplasm but also associates with the mitochondrial outer membrane. Defects in LRRK2 are the cause of Parkinson disease 8 (PARK8). Parkinson disease is characterised by bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscular rigidity and postural instability, as well as by a clinically significant response to treatment with levodopa. The pathology involves the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and the presence of Lewy bodies (intraneuronal accumulations of aggregated proteins), in surviving neurons in various areas of the brain. PARK8 is an autosomal-dominant late-onset parkinsonism, characterized by onset from 50 to 65 years, with slow progression and relatively benign course.

Rabbit anti-Ubiquitin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, ICC.
Background Info:
Ubiquitin is a highly conserved 76 amino acid protein with an estimated molecular weight of 8.56 kDa which has a central role in regulated protein degradation. It is a protein modifier which can be covalently attached to target lysines either as a monomer or as a lysine-linked polymer. Several types of polymeric chains can be formed depending on the lysine used for the assembly. Attachment to proteins as a polymer leads to their degradation by the 26S proteosome; a complex, multicatalytic cytosolic and nuclear protease. Attachment to proteins as a monomer or as an alternatively linked polymer does not lead to proteasomal degradation and may be required for numerous functions, including maintenance of chromatic structure, regulation of gene expression, stress response, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair. Ubiquitin is synthesized as a polyubiquitin precursor with exact head to tail repeats, the number of repeats of which differ between species and strains. In some species there is a final amino-acid after the last repeat, here in bovine a Cys. Some ubiquitin genes contain a single copy of ubiquitin fused to a ribosomal protein (either L40 or S27a).

Rabbit anti-Ki-67 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly (PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the perichromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PubMed:27362226). Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA (PubMed:10878551). Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization (PubMed:24867636).

Rabbit anti-Beta casein protein Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ELISA.
Background Info:
Beta-casein has an important role in determination of the surface properties of the casein micelles. it is cleaved into 3 chains (casoparan, casohypotensin and antioxidant peptide). Casoparan acts as a macrophage activator, increasing the phagocytic activity of macrophages and peroxide release from macrophages. It also acts as a bradykinin-potentiating peptide. Casohypotensin acts as a bradykinin-potentiating peptide and induces hypotension in rats. Acts as a strong competitive inhibitor of endo-oligopeptidase A. Antioxidant peptide has antioxidant activity (ref: uniprot.org.).<br /><br />Bovine milk contains two types of beta-casein protein, A2 or A1. Recent studies have shown that milk containing the A1 beta casein protein can contribute to issues including gastrointestinal discomfort after ingestion. There is some evidence of a link between ingestion of A1 beta casein protein and the development of Type 1 diabetes.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

FUNCTION: Nuclear phosphoprotein which forms a tight but non-covalently linked complex with the JUN/AP-1 transcription factor. In the heterodimer, FOS and JUN/AP-1 basic regions each seems to interact with symmetrical DNA half sites. On TGF-beta activation, forms a multimeric SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS complex at the AP1/SMAD-binding site to regulate TGF-beta-mediated signaling. Has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton. It is thought to have an important role in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation. In growing cells, activates phospholipid synthesis, possibly by activating CDS1 and PI4K2A. This activity requires Tyr-dephosphorylation and association with the endoplasmic reticulum. SUBUNIT: Heterodimer. Interacts with DSIPI; this interaction inhibits the binding of active AP1 to its target DNA. Interacts with MAFB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. INDUCTION: C-fos expression increases upon a variety of stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, neurotransmitters, polypeptide hormones, stress and cell injury. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bZIP family. Fos subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bZIP domain (Ref: uniprot.org).

The protein named TrkB (also named Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 (NTRK2), GP145-TrkB or Tropomyosin-related kinase B is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems and is important in the regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity. TrkB may also play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia. TrkB is the primary receptor for BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor. TrkB also binds NT4 and NT3 but less efficiently. Upon ligand-binding, the receptor undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. TrkB activation recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that each regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades within cells. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2, these activate the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates, for instance, neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth. These same effectors also control the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that mainly regulates growth and survival. TrkB, via activation of PLCG1 and the downstream protein kinase C-regulated pathways, also controls synaptic plasticity, and thus plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. PLCG1 also leads to NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. One such consequence is that PLCG1 activation via TrkB is able to suppress anoikis, the apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions. (Reference: www.uniprot.org)

Rabbit anti-Phospho-calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type II subunit alpha, Thr253 (alpha-CaMKII, Thr253) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB.
Background Info:
Calcium/calmodulin-stimulated protein kinase II (CaMKII) is composed of four different chains (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) and is abundantly expressed in neurons. CaMKII is involved in regulating many aspects of neuronal function, including neurotransmitter synthesis and release, modulation of ion channel activity and cellular transport. The enzymatic function of CaMKII is regulated by its multiple phosphorylation sites and targeting to sub-cellular locations through interactions with protein binding partners. Phosphorylation of Thr253 has been identified in vivo and found to alter the interaction of CaMKII with binding partners, but not change its enzymatic activity. Thus, phosphorylation of Thr253 is suggested to modulate functional responses based on its binding partner and subsequently its sub-cellular localization.

Rabbit anti-Lamin A/C Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm (1). The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene (2), while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74 kDa while Lamin C is 65 kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal. Lamin polymerization and depolymerization is regulated by phosphorylation by cyclin dependent protein kinase 1 (CDK1), the key component of "maturation promoting factor", the central regulator of cell division. Activity of this kinase increases during cell division and is responsible for the breakdown of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene are associated with several serious human diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. This family of diseases belong to a larger group which are often referred to as Laminopathies, though some laminopathies are associated in defects in Lamin B1, B2 or one or other of the numerous nuclear lamina binding proteins. A truncated version of lamin A, commonly known as progerin, causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a form of premature aging (3).

Rabbit anti-Spectrin, alpha II Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The spectrin family of proteins were originally discovered as major components of the submembraneous cytoskeleton of osmotically lysed red blood cells (1). The lysed blood cells could be seen as clear red blood cell shaped objects in the light microscope and were referred to as red cell "ghosts". The major proteins of these ghosts proved to be actin, ankyrin, band 4.1 and several other proteins, including two major bands running at about 240 kDa and 260 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. This pair of bands was named "spectrin" since they were discovered in these red blood cell ghosts (1). Later work showed that similar high molecular bands were seen in membrane preparations from other eukaryotic cell types. Work by Levine and Willard described a pair of about ~240-260 kDa molecular weight bands which were transported at the slowest rate along mammalian axons (2). They named these proteins "fodrin" as antibody studies showed that they were localized in the sheath under the axonal membrane, but not in the core of the axon (2; fodros is Greek for sheath). Subsequently fodrin was found to be a member of the spectrin family of proteins, and the spectrin nomenclature is now normally used (3). Spectrins form tetramers of two alpha and two beta subunits, with the alpha corresponding to the lower molecular weight ~240 kDa band and the beta corresponding to the ~260 kDa or in some case much larger band. Most spectrin tetramers are about 0.2microns or 200nm long, and each alpha and beta subunit has a cell type specific expression pattern. The basic structure of each spectrin subunit is the spectrin repeat, which is a sequence of about 110 amino acids which defines a compact domain contain three closely packed alpha-helices. Each spectrin subunit contains multiple copies of this repeat, with 20 in each of the alpha subunits. The beta I-IV subunits each contain 17 spectrin repeats, while the beta V subunit, also known as beta-heavy spectrin, contains 30 of these repeats. The various subunits also contain several other kinds of functional domain, allowing the spectrin tetramer to interact with a variety of protein, ionic and lipid targets. The alpha-subunits each contain one calmodulin like calcium binding region and one Src-homology 3 (SH3) domain, an abundant domain involved in specific protein-protein interactions. The beta subunits all have a N-terminal actin binding domain and may also have one SH3 domain and one pleckstrin homology domain, a multifunctional type of binding domain which in beta I spectrin at least binds the membrane lipid PIP2 (5). Spectrins are believed to have a function in giving mechanical strength to the plasma membrane since the tetramers associate with each other to form a dense submembraneous geodesic meshwork (3). They also bind a variety of other membrane proteins and membrane lipids, and the proteins they bind to are therefore themselves localized in the membrane. Diseases may be associated with defects in one or other of the spectrin subunits (6). For example, some forms of hereditary spherocytosis, the presence of spherical red blood cells which are prone to lysis, can be traced to mutations in some of the spectrin subunits (7). The alpha-II subunit is widely expressed in tissues but, in the nervous system, is found predominantly in neurons. The antibody can therefore be used to identify neurons and fragments derived from neuronal membranes in cells in tissue culture and in sectioned material.

FUNCTION: Involved in redox regulation of the cell. Can reduce H(2)O(2) and short chain organic, fatty acid, and phospholipid hydroperoxides. May play a role in the regulation of phospholipid turnover as well as in protection against oxidative injury. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Lysosome. Also found in lung secretory organelles. MISCELLANEOUS: The active site is the redox-active Cys-47 oxidized to Cys-SOH. Cys-SOH may rapidly react with a Cys-SH of the other subunit to form an intermolecular disulfide with a concomitant homodimer formation. The enzyme may be subsequently regenerated by reduction of the disulfide by thioredoxin . MISCELLANEOUS: Irreversibly inactivated by overoxidation of Cys-47 (to Cys-SO(3)H) upon oxidative stress. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ahpC/TSA family. Rehydrin subfamily.

Rabbit anti-Adenylate cyclase type III (ACIII) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC, ICC.
Background Info:
Adenylate cyclases are enzymes which interact with and are activated by the GTP bound alpha subunits of trimeric G-proteins. Activated adenylate cyclases are responsible for the production of the important "second messenger" signalling molecule cyclic-AMP, which is generated from ATP. The type III adenylate cyclase enzyme is localized in the membranes surrounding the cilia in neurons, and our antibody is an excellent marker of neuronal cilia in the brain and in cells in tissue culture. Adenylate cyclase type III is a large complex molecule of, in the human, 1145 amino acids with a deduced molecular weight of 129 kDa. The protein may be variably glycosylated, so that on SDS-PAGE and western blots it runs as a diffuse band of about 160 kDa in cortex and about 200 kDa in olfactory epithelium. The molecule has a complex structure, with 12 transmembrane domains and two cyclase domains. Each cyclase domain is immediately C-terminal to 6 transmembrane segments, but only the second, C-terminal cyclase is believed to be catalytically active.

Adaptins are important components of clathrin-coated vesicles transporting ligand-receptor complexes from the plasma membrane or from the trans Golgi network to lysosomes. Together with medium and small subunits, adaptins form a heterotetrameric complex called an adaptor whose role is to promote the formation of clathrin-coated pits and vesicles and to recognise sorting signals within the cytosolic tails of transmembrane cargo molecules. Gamma-adaptin protein belongs to the adaptor protein complex 1 that plays a role in protein sorting in the late-Golgi/trans-Golgi network and/or endosomes. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus. Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle membrane.

Rabbit anti-mCherry Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
mCherry is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals). The mCherry protein was derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28 kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, but, obviously, produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. The original DsRed was engineered extensively in the Tsien lab to prevent it from forming tetramers and dimers and to modify and improve the spectral properties (1-3). The resulting monomeric protein is useful for applications such as Foerster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Several further cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection produced mCherry, which is monomeric and has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and and emission maximum at 610 nm (4).

Rabbit anti-Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP-43) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
GAP43 is very abundant protein which is found concentrated in neurons. One group discovered it as one of three proteins which becomes unregulated during the regeneration of the toad optic nerve (1). Three GAPs (Growth associated proteins) were discovered, and the number 43 comes from the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight of the one named GAP43. The HGNC name for this protein is, not surprisingly, GAP43. Later work showed that GAP43 does not run on SDS-PAGE in a fashion which accurately reflects its molecular weight, and that GAP43 proteins from different species may run at different apparent molecular weights. Partly due to these features GAP43 were independently discovered by several different groups and therefore has several alternate names, such as protein F1, pp46, neuromodulin, neural phosphoprotein B-50 and calmodulin-binding protein P-57. In each case the number reflects the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight, and underlines the unusual properties of this molecule. Mammalian GAP43 proteins contains only 226-243 amino acids, and so the real molecular weight is 23.61-25.14 kDa. GAP43 has been extensively studied and is known to be a major protein kinase C substrate and to bind calmodulin avidly. GAP43 is anchored to the plasma membrane by palmitoylation modifications.

Rabbit anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Therefore the regulation of the TH enzyme represents the central means for controlling the synthesis of these important catecholamines. FUNCTION: Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin. COFACTOR: Fe(2+) ion. ENZYME REGULATION: Phosphorylation leads to an increase in the catalytic activity. PATHWAY: Catecholamine biosynthesis; first step. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. PTM: In vitro, phosphorylation of Ser-19 increases the rate of Ser-40 phosphorylation, which results in enzyme opening and activation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family. The presence of different DNA sequences at the TH locus confers susceptibility to various disorders of the brain including manic-depression and schizophrenia. Parkinson's disease is also considered a TH deficiency as low dopamine levels are a consistent neurochemical abnormality.

This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Rabbit anti-Sequestosome 1 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Sequestosome 1 is an adapter protein which binds ubiquitin and may regulate the activation of NFKB1 by TNF-alpha, nerve growth factor and interleukin-1. It may regulate signaling cascades through ubiquitination and may also be involved in cell differentiation, apoptosis, immune response and regulation of K(+) channels. It is present as a homooligomer or heterooligomer and localises to the cytoplasm, late endosome and nucleus. In cardiac muscles it localises to the sarcomeric band. It accumulates in neurofibrillary tangles and in Lewy bodies of neurons from individuals with Alzheimer and Parkinson disease respectively. It is also enriched in Rosenthal fibers of pilocytic astrocytoma and in liver cells it accumulates in Mallory bodies associated with alcoholic hepatitis, Wilson disease, indian childhood cirrhosis and in hyaline bodies associated with hepatocellular carcinoma. Sequestosome 1 is ubiquitously expressed and to date, there are 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Defects in sequestosome 1 cause sporadic and familial Page disease of bone (PDB). This is a metabolic bone disease characterised by focal areas of increased and disorganised bone turn-over due to activated osteoclasts.

Glutathione peroxidase 1 has a role in detoxification of hydrogen peroxide and is one of the most important antioxidant enzymes in humans. It exists as a homotetramer which localises to the cytoplasm. It belongs to the glutathione peroxidase family. Glutathione peroxidase 1 is one of few proteins in higher vertebrates to contain selenocysteine, which occurs at the active site of glutathione peroxidase and is coded by UGA, that normally functions as a translation termination codon. This protein has a polyalanine sequence polymorphism in the N-terminal region, which includes three alleles with five, six or seven alanine repeats. The allele with five alanine repeats is significantly associated with breast cancer risk. At least two alternatively spliced isoforms have been identified.

Rabbit anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A (TrkA) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen, ELISA.
Background Info:
TrkA is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor family. It is a membrane-bound receptor that upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. TrkA is required for high-affinity binding to nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). TrkA leads to cell differentiations and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. It has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. SUBUNIT: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Endocytosed to the endosomes upon treatment of cells with NGF. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Both isoforms have similar biological properties. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform TrkA-II is primarily expressed in neuronal cells. Isoform TrkA-I is found in non-neuronal tissues. Mutations in TrkA have been associated with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, self-mutalating behaviour, mental retardation and cancer.

Rabbit anti-Sortilin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen, ELISA.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Functions as a sorting receptor in the Golgi compartment and as a clearance receptor on the cell surface. Required for protein transport from the Golgi apparatus to the lysosomes by a pathway that is independent of the mannose-6-phosphate receptor (M6PR). Also required for protein transport from the Golgi apparatus to the endosomes. Promotes neuronal apoptosis by mediating endocytosis of the proapoptotic precursor forms of BDNF (proBDNF) and NGFB (proNGFB). Also acts as a receptor for neurotensin. May promote mineralization of the extracellular matrix during osteogenic differentiation by scavenging extracellular LPL. Probably required in adipocytes for the formation of specialized storage vesicles containing the glucose transporter SLC2A4/GLUT4 (GLUT4 storage vesicles, or GSVs). These vesicles provide a stable pool of SLC2A4 and confer increased responsiveness to insulin. May also mediate transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. SUBUNIT: Interacts with LPL and SLC2A4. Interacts with the cytosolic adapter proteins GGA1 and GGA2. Interacts with numerous ligands including the receptor-associated protein LRPAP1/RAP, GM2A and PSAP. Forms a complex with NGFR which binds specifically to the precursor forms of NGFB (proNGFB) and BDNF (proBDNF). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Localized to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, endosomes, Golgi stack, lysosomes and nucleus. A small fraction of the protein is also localized to the plasma membrane. May also be found in SLC2A4/GLUT4 storage vesicles (GSVs) in adipocytes. Localization to the plasma membrane in adipocytes may be enhanced by insulin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed at high levels in brain, spinal cord, heart, skeletal muscle, thyroid, placenta and testis. Expressed at lower levels in lymphoid organs, kidney, colon and liver. INDUCTION: During osteoblast differentiation. DOMAIN: The N-terminal propeptide may facilitate precursor transport within the Golgi stack. Intrachain binding of the N-terminal propeptide and the extracellular domain may also inhibit premature ligand binding. DOMAIN: The extracellular domain may be shed following protease cleavage in some cell types. PTM: The N-terminal propeptide is cleaved by furin and possibly other homologous proteases. PTM: Contains 8 intrachain disulfide bonds. PTM: N-glycosylated. SIMILARITY: Contains 9 BNR repeats.

Leucine-rich repeat serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (LRRK2-IN-1), Purified Small Molecule, suitable to Block.
Background Info:
Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a member of the leucine-rich repeat kinase family. Mutations in the LRRK2 gene have been linked with late-onset autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). A recent screening identified the analog LRRK2-IN-1 as a potent and selective inhibitor of LRRK2. This research by Deng et al (2011, Nat Chem Biol) showed that LRRK2-IN-1 suppressed LRRK2 kinase activity in vivo leading to dephosphorylation of Ser910/Ser935, loss of 14-3-3 binding and accumulation of LRRK2 within aggregrate fibrillar structures. LRRK2-IN-1, is the first selective and potent inhibitor of LRRK2. LRRK2-IN-1 inhibits both wild-type and G2019S mutant LRRK2 kinase activity with IC50 values of 13nM and 6nM respectively (Deng et al 2011, Nat Chem Biol).</div>

Alpha synuclein control peptide (116-131), Purified Peptide, suitable to Block.
Background Info:
<span itemprop="description">Alpha synuclein is an abundant 140 amino acid neuronal protein, expressed primarily at presynaptic terminals in the central nervous system. Alpha synuclein has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. A point mutation in the gene coding for the alpha-synuclein protein was the first discovery linking this protein to a rare familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD). Subsequently, other mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene have been identified in familial PD. The aggregated proteinaceous inclusions called Lewy bodies found in PD and cortical Lewy body dementia (LBD) were discovered to be predominantly alpha-synuclein. Aberrant aggregation of alpha-synuclein has been detected in an increasing number of neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as synucleopathies. Alpha-synuclein exists physiologically in both soluble and membrane-bound states, in unstructured and alpha-helical conformations, respectively. The physiological function of alpha-synuclein appears to require its translocation between these subcellular compartments and interconversion between the 2 conformations. Abnormal processing of alpha-synuclein is predicted to lead to pathological changes in its binding properties and function.</span>

Mouse NGF (2.5S) was isolated from mouse submaxillary glands by method of Mobley et al (1976) and is a form of beta-NGF that has identical biological properties. NGF is known to regulate the survival and development of certain sympathetic and sensory neurons. It is a dimer with 2 identical polypeptide chains and dimeric molecular weight of approximately 26,500 Da. Isolation and purification of NGF from mouse submaxillary glands yields preparations of NGF (2.5S) with identical biological activity but with cleavages at the amino terminus (with the loss of 8 amino acids) and/or at the carboxy-terminus (with the loss of arginine).

Mouse NGF (2.5S) was isolated from mouse submaxillary glands by method of Mobley et al (1976) and is a form of beta-NGF that has identical biological properties. NGF is known to regulate the survival and development of certain sympathetic and sensory neurons. It is a dimer with 2 identical polypeptide chains and dimeric molecular weight of approximately 26,500 Da. Isolation and purification of NGF from mouse submaxillary glands yields preparations of NGF (2.5S) with identical biological activity but with cleavages at the amino terminus (with the loss of 8 amino acids) and/or at the carboxy-terminus (with the loss of arginine). These preparations are named 2.5 NGF (see reference below).

CNTF is a survival promoting factor for different types of neurons in vitro and in vivo. The essential structural features for the biological function of human CNTF were investigated by Thier, M. et al. They showed that deletion of 14 N-terminal and 18 C-terminal amino acids significantly increased bioactivity compared to wild-type CNTF. FUNCTION: CNTF is a survival factor for various neuronal cell types. Seems to prevent the degeneration of motor axons after axotomy. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Nervous system. PHARMACEUTICAL: CNTF is being tested under the name Axokine by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals for treatment of human motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As it induces substantial weight loss, preferentially of fat as opposed to lean body mass, it is being used for obesity treatment. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the CNTF family.

Ribosome-inactivating Purified Protein saporin-6 (Saporin), Purified Native Purified Protein, suitable for WB.
Background Info:
Saporin is a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) of type I. This monomeric RNA N-glycosidase purified from seeds of the plant Saponaria officinalis also known as Soapwort, is capable of specific depurination of eukaryotic ribosomes thus arresting protein synthesis. No ligand has been identified in saporin hence its inability to transverse the cell membrane. Due to its toxicity and stability of the structure, saporin has proven extremely useful for construction of immunotoxins. Biosensis Saporin is purified in-house and available in bulk reuqest upon request as well.

Mouse anti-NeuN/Fox3 Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Fox3 is one of a family of mammalian homologues of Fox-1. The Fox proteins are about 46 kDa in size, and each includes a central highly conserved RRM type RNA recognition motif. Much interest has focused on Fox3 as a result of the recent finding that this protein corresponds to NeuN, a neuronal nuclear antigen. NeuN/Fox-3 has a function in RNA splicing and is expressed heavily and specifically in neuronal nuclei and cytoplasm. Our antibody was raised against the N-terminal 100 amino acids of human Fox3 as expressed in and purified from E. coli. We did not use full length Fox3 as immunogen since the three mammalian Fox homologues, namely Fox1, Fox2 and Fox3, include virtually identical RRM motifs. The N-terminal region of the three molecules are much more variable in the three molecules so antibodies specific for each of the three molecules can therefore be generated.

Mouse anti-Green fluorescent protein (GFP) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) is a 27 kDa protein isolated originally from the jellyfish Aequoria victoria. It has an endogenous fluorochrome activity with excitation maximum at 395 nm and emission maximum at 509 nm, which is similar to that of fluorescein. GFP can be expressed in fluorescent form in essentially any prokaryotic or eukaryotic cell.<br> This GFP rabbit antibody was made against a recombinant GFP construct originating from an Aequoria species which was engineered to improve spectral properties and prevent oligomerization. This form of GFP, referred to as AcGFP, is 94% identical to the eGFP developed by Tsien and co-workers. The antibody can be used to verify the expression, size and stability of both AcGFP and eGFP fusion proteins in western blotting experiments and to amplify GFP signals in tissues of transgenic animals.

Mouse anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor B (TrkB) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for FC.
Background Info:
The protein named TrkB (also named Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 2 (NTRK2), GP145-TrkB or Tropomyosin-related kinase B is a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems and is important in the regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity. TrkB may also play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia. TrkB is the primary receptor for BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor. TrkB also binds NT4 and NT3 but less efficiently. Upon ligand-binding, the receptor undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. TrkB activation recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that each regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades within cells. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2, these activate the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates, for instance, neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth. These same effectors also control the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that mainly regulates growth and survival. TrkB, via activation of PLCG1 and the downstream protein kinase C-regulated pathways, also controls synaptic plasticity, and thus plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. PLCG1 also leads to NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. One such consequence is that PLCG1 activation via TrkB is able to suppress anoikis, the apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions. (Reference: www.uniprot.org)

p75NTR (CD271) was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR). Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins, including NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4/5. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. Recent research proposes the extracellular domain of p75NTR as a biomarker for monitoring the progression of motor neuron disease (MND), also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig's Disease.

Mouse anti-Rhodopsin Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Photoreceptor required for image-forming vision at low light intensity. Required for photoreceptor cell viability after birth (By similarity). Light-induced isomerization of 11-cis to all-trans retinal triggers a conformational change that activates signaling via G-proteins (PubMed:10926528, PubMed:12044163, PubMed:11972040, PubMed:16908857, PubMed:16586416, PubMed:17060607, PubMed:17449675, PubMed:18818650, PubMed:21389983, PubMed:22198838, PubMed:23579341, PubMed:25205354, PubMed:27458239).

Mouse anti-Ki-67 Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly (PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the perichromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PubMed:27362226). Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA (PubMed:10878551). Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization (PubMed:24867636). It is however unclear whether it plays a direct role in chromatin organization or whether it is an indirect consequence of its function in maintaining mitotic chromosomes dispersed (Probable).

MC192-saporin is an antibody conjugate comprising of the monoclonal antibody MC192 against rat p75 NTR , the nerve growth factor receptor, chemically conjugated via a reducible disulfide bridge to the ribosome-inactivating protein saporin, purified from saponaria officinalis . Unconjugated saporin is incapable of entering the cells due to the apparent lack of ligand. Upon specific binding via MC192 to the cells expressing p75 NTR , saporin transverses the cell membrane leading to lesion of neurochemically defined neuronal populations. The targets of MC192-Saporin are p75 NTR -expressing cells including cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain, cerebellar Purkinje cells, medial septum, diagonal band of Broca, Nucleus basalis of Meynert and some tumour cells. MC192-saporin has been used in the study of learning and memory and its primary application is in vivo , MC192-saporin is specific for applications in rat. The antibody does not cross-react with human or mouse p75 NTR receptors.

FUNCTION: Nuclear phosphoprotein which forms a tight but non-covalently linked complex with the JUN/AP-1 transcription factor. In the heterodimer, FOS and JUN/AP-1 basic regions each seems to interact with symmetrical DNA half sites. On TGF-beta activation, forms a multimeric SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS complex at the AP1/SMAD-binding site to regulate TGF-beta-mediated signaling. Has a critical function in regulating the development of cells destined to form and maintain the skeleton. It is thought to have an important role in signal transduction, cell proliferation and differentiation. In growing cells, activates phospholipid synthesis, possibly by activating CDS1 and PI4K2A. This activity requires Tyr-dephosphorylation and association with the endoplasmic reticulum. SUBUNIT: Heterodimer. Interacts with DSIPI; this interaction inhibits the binding of active AP1 to its target DNA. Interacts with MAFB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. INDUCTION: C-fos expression increases upon a variety of stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, neurotransmitters, polypeptide hormones, stress and cell injury. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the bZIP family. Fos subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 bZIP domain (Ref: uniprot.org).

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein.

The amyloid beta peptide is derived from the cleavage of the Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and varies in length from 39 to 43 amino acids. However, the form(s) of amyloid-beta peptide (A? associated with the pathology characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unclear. In particular, the neurotoxicity of intraneuronal A? accumulation is an area of considerable research and controversy principally because antibodies thought to be specific for A? have been shown to actually detect intraneuronal APP and not A? exclusively.<br /><br />MOAB-2 (mouse IgG2b) is a pan-specific, high-titer antibody to A? residues 1-4 as demonstrated by biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses (IHC), and is highly specific just to amyloid beta peptide. <strong>MOAB-2 did not detect APP or APP-CTFs</strong> in cell culture media/lysates (HEK-APPSwe or HEK APPSwe/BACE1) or in brain homogenates from transgenic mice expressing 5 familial AD (FAD) mutation (5xFAD mice). <br /><br />Using IHC on 5xFAD brain tissue, MOAB-2 immunoreactivity co-localized with C-terminal antibodies specific for A?40 and A?42. MOAB-2 did not co-localize with either N- or C-terminal antibodies to APP. In addition, no MOAB-2-immunreactivity was observed in the brains of 5xFAD/BACE-/- mice, although significant amounts of APP were detected by N- and C-terminal antibodies to APP, as well as by 6E10. In both 5xFAD and 3xTg mouse brain tissue, MOAB-2 co-localized with cathepsin-D, a marker for acidic organelles, further evidence for intraneuronal A?, distinct from A? associated with the cell membrane. MOAB-2 demonstrated strong intraneuronal and extra-cellular immunoreactivity in 5xFAD and 3xTg mouse brain tissues.<br /><br />Biosensis now offers <strong>biotinylated MOAB-2</strong> <strong>antibody</strong> allowing more flexibility in experimental design by using the biotin-avidin/streptavidin detection method. Biotinylated MOAB-2 antibody may also help to reduce background staining in difficult-to-stain tissues and increase detection sensitivity. The ability of biotinylated MOAB-2 antibody to detect amyloid beta has been validated by IHC.<br /><br />Purified, non-biotinylated MOAB-2 antibody is available <a href="https://www.biosensis.com/moab-mouse-monoclonal-antibody-amyloid-beta-peptide-beta-4042-purified-p-1181.htmL">here</a>.

Application Details:
The biotinylated MOAB-2 antibody has been tested by IHC (1:500 - 1:2,000 dilution) and is also expected to work in applications validated for the unlabelled antibody (M-1586-100) at same or higher dilutions: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry/paraffin embedded IHC(P), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunofluorescence (IF), ELISA.<br><br><i>Western Blotting:</i><br><br>MOAB-2 has been tested in WB using purified synthetic beta-amyloid preparations and from transgenic mouse brain formic acid extracts (see Figure 1). Formic acid extraction/concentration is required for western blot detection from extracts. Suggested dilution of 1:2000-1:5,000 for WB, standard ECL detection systems. <br><br>Tissue samples for the detection of beta-amyloid should be prepared as detailed in Youmans KL et al., 2011 (Journal of Neuroscience Methods 196: 51-59) for best results. Detection of beta-amyloid 40/42 in direct westerns can be difficult; Dot-blots of prepared samples are recommended as detailed in Youmans KL et al., 2012. <br><br><i>Immunohistochemistry:</i><br><br>Suggested dilution for biotinylated MOAB-2 in IHC is 1:500-1:2,000. Fresh frozen, 4% paraformaldehyde fixed frozen, or formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues are all suitable. Antigen retrieval is required in fixed tissues for optimal staining.<br><br>Antibody was tested on 4% paraformaldehyde/0.1% glutaraldehyde fixed frozen tissue from 3xTg and 5xFAD mice. MOAB-2 antibody detects intraneuronal and extracellular beta-amyloid in IHC and does not detect APP (Youmans KL et al., 2012).<br><br>The antibody also reacts with archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples with antigen Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval (HIER). Recommended buffer for HIER is citrate, pH 6.0. Signal was weak without antigen retrieval. Immunoreactivity was observed in intraneural-amyloid deposition (plaque) in Alzheimer's brain. MOAB-2 was found to be extremely clean and with an excellent signal to noise ratio with no neuro-cellular diffusive staining.<br><br>In addition, MOAB-2 demonstrated no significant differences in A-beta detection using paraffin fixed, free-floating sections (Youmans KL et al., 2012). Formic acid (FA) treatment resulted in optimal detection of both intraneuronal and extracellular A-beta compared to without FA (incubated in 88% FA 8 min, Youmans KL et al., 2012). Free floating tissue sections were permeabilized in TBS containing 0.25% Triton X-100 (TBSX; 3 x 10 min), blocked with 3% horse serum in TBSX (3 x 10 min) followed by 1% horse serum in TBSX (2 x10 min) and incubated with appropriate primary antibodies diluted in TBSX containing 1% horse serum overnight. See Youmans KL et al., 2012, for full IHC(P) protocol and method details.<br><br><i>Immunofluorescence:</i><br><br>For IF, suggested dilution is 1:100-1:500. The antibody was tested on 4% PFA fixed frozen tissue. Fixed tissues were washed in TBS (3 x 10 min), then incubated in 88% FA (8 min), and then permeabilized in TBSX (3 x 10 min), and blocked in TBSX containing 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA; 1 hr). Sections were subsequently incubated with appropriate primary antibodies diluted in TBSX containing 2% BSA overnight on an oscillatory rotator. Detection was via fluorescently labelled absorbed secondary antibodies (Youmans KL et al., 2012).<br><br><i>Immunoprecipitation:</i><br><br>For IP, the suggested dilution is 1:200 to 1:1,000 for labelled beta-amyloid using SA-coated beads as the capture vehicle, similar to the protocols employed by Youmans KL et al., 2012.<br><br><i>ELISA:</i><br><br>In an ELISA, a dilution of 1:50-1:1,000 is suggested. The antibody has been tested in ELISAs on synthetic beta-amyloid and tissue homogenates from beta-amyloid-Tg mice. <br><br>Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user for all applications.

Specificity:
MOAB-2 detects preparations enriched in U-, O-, F-A?42, and U-A?40 by dot-blot, and is thus a pan-specific A? antibody. However, MOAB-2 is selective for the more neurotoxic A?42 compared to A?40. Indeed, MOAB-2 demonstrated a titration against antigen concentration, and detects A?40 at 2.5 pmol, but U-, O- and F-A?b42 at antigen concentrations as low as ~ 0.1 pmol (Youmans. KL et al., 2012; PMID: 22423893). MOAB-2 does not detect APP (Amyloid Precursor Protein). Human, rat, other species not yet tested. By Dot Blot, MOAB-2 detected rat A?40 and human A?40, albeit with less affinity than for A?42 (Youmans KL et al., 2012).

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. It is a major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein.

MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated protein which mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton (probably involved in autophagosome formation). MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and 3 different light chain subunits (LC1, LC2 and LC3). MAP1LC3A is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. The precursor form of MAP1LC3A is cleaved by APG4/ATG4B to form the cytosolic form LC3-1. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, LC3-II. MAP1LC3A is most abundant in heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle and testis but is absent in thymus and peripheral leukocytes.

Mouse anti-Tyrosine Kinase Receptor A (TrkA) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for ICC, FC.
Background Info:
TrkA is a member of the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor family. It is a membrane-bound receptor that upon neurotrophin binding, phosphorylates itself and members of the MAPK pathway. TrkA is required for high-affinity binding to nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 and neurotrophin-4/5 but not brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). TrkA leads to cell differentiations and may play a role in specifying sensory neuron subtypes. It has a crucial role in the development and function of the nociceptive reception system as well as establishment of thermal regulation via sweating. SUBUNIT: Exists in a dynamic equilibrium between monomeric (low affinity) and dimeric (high affinity) structures. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; single-pass type I membrane protein. Endocytosed to the endosomes upon treatment of cells with NGF. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Both isoforms have similar biological properties. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform TrkA-II is primarily expressed in neuronal cells. Isoform TrkA-I is found in non-neuronal tissues. Mutations in TrkA have been associated with congenital insensitivity to pain, anhidrosis, self-mutalating behaviour, mental retardation and cancer (Reference: www.uniprot.com).

Mouse anti-Capsaicin receptor (TrpV1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, FC.
Background Info:
The capsaicin receptor (VR1, TRPV1) is a ligand-activated non-selective calcium permeant cation channel involved in detection of noxious chemical and thermal stimuli. The receptor seems to mediate proton influx and may be involved in intracellular acidosis in nociceptive neurons. It is involved in mediation of inflammatory pain and hyperalgesia. Sensitized by a phosphatidylinositol second messenger system activated by receptor tyrosine kinases, which involves PKC isozymes and PCL. Activation by vanilloids, like capsaicin, and temperatures higher than 42 degrees Celsius, exhibits a time- and Ca2+-dependent outward rectification, followed by a long-lasting refractory state. Mild extracellular acidic pH (6.5) potentiates channel activation by noxious heat and vanilloids, whereas acidic conditions (pH less than 6) directly activate the channel. Can be activated by endogenous compounds, including 12-hydroperoxytetraenoic acid and bradykinin. Acts as ionotropic endocannabinoid receptor with central neuromodulatory effects. Triggers a form of long-term depression (TRPV1-LTD) mediated by the endocannabinoid anandamine in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens by affecting AMPA receptors endocytosis (Ref: uniprot.org).

Mouse anti-Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; cytosol. Cell membrane. Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 8 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Additional isoforms seem to exist. Isoforms differ from each other by the presence or absence of up to 5 of the 15 exons. One of these optional exons contains the additional tau/MAP repeat. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in neurons. Isoform PNS-tau is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Four-repeat (type II) tau is expressed in an adult-specific manner and is not found in fetal brain, whereas three-repeat (type I) tau is found in both adult and fetal brain. DOMAIN: The tau/MAP repeat binds to tubulin. In Alzheimer disease, the neuronal cytoskeleton in the brain is progressively disrupted and replaced by tangles of paired helical filaments and straight filaments, mainly composed of hyperphosphorylated forms of Microtubule-associated protein Tau. Defects in Microtubule-associated protein Tau are a cause of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, as well as a number of other neurodegenerative diseases.

Mouse anti-High-mobility group protein 1 (HMGP-1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
High-mobility group proteins were named originally since they are abundand relatively low molecular weight proteins which run quickly on SDS-PAGE gels. High-mobility group protein box 1 (HMGB1, Amphoterin) is one of these. The "bx" in the name refers to the so-called high mobility group (HMG) box, a compact domain involved in DNA binding and protein-protein interactions. the HMGB1 molecule has two of these HMG domains. The protein is alslo called amphoterin, this name being derived from the presence of two highly charged regions in the molecule, a relatively neutrally charged N-terminus and a very negatively charged C-terminus. In fact the molecule is very unusually charged throughout, the human sequence consisting of 16.7% Glutamic acid, 9.3% Aspartic acid, 20% lysine and 9.3% Arginine. HMGB1 can bind Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) and the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products (RAGE). TLRs are components of the innate immune system, first recognized as a family of receptors which recognize "Pathogen Associated Molecular Pattern molecules (PAMPs). PAMPs are common components of bacteria and when TLRs bind these a strong inflammatory response is activated. More recently it has been recognized that TLRs can also be activated by Damage Associated Molecular Pattern molecules (DAMPs), which are endogenous substances released from damaged and diseased cells which also bind to TLR family receptors and also activate inflammation. HMGB1 is such a DAMP, binding to TLR4, and much evidence suggests that HMGB1 is a strong activator of inflammation. Interestingly, HMGB1 is released by necrotic cells but not by apoptotic cells (1).

Mouse anti-Aldolase C Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Aldolases are glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible aldol cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose-1-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and either glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate or glyceraldehyde, respectively. Three aldolase isozymes are found in mammals specifically aldolases A, B, and C, each of which is encoded by a separate gene. Aldolase A is generally considered to be a muscle enzyme. Northern analysis of cultured cells suggests that it is present in both neurons and glia (1). Aldolase B is considered to be a liver-specific enzyme and it is transcriptionally activated by signals from hormones and dietary factors (2). In the adult, aldolase C is the brain-specific isozyme, with low but detectable activity in fetal tissues (1, 3-6). Aldolase C shares 81% amino acid identity with aldolase A and 70% identity with aldolase B. Earlier studies using isozyme-specific antibodies report its location in gray matter astrocytes and cells of the pia mater (5, 8). In situ hybridization of mouse central nervous system using isozyme-specific probes revealed that aldolase A and C are expressed in complementary cell types: aldolase A mRNA is found in neurons; aldolase C message is detected in astrocytes, some cells of the pia mater, and Purkinje cells (9). Aldolase C can in some situations be used as an astrocyte marker. However Purkinje cells of the cerebellum contain high levels of the enzyme, so the enzyme is not totally astrocyte specific.

Mouse anti-Heat shock protein 27 (HSP-27) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The heat shock proteins were discovered, as the name suggests, since they are heavily upregulated when cells are stressed by temperatures above the normal physiological range. They are expressed in unstressed cells also and have a normal function as chaperones, helping other proteins to fold correctly, and are required in much greater amounts if the cell or tissue is stressed by heat. The increased levels are generated transcriptionally under the influence of a powerful transcription factor, the heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). The different heat shock proteins were originally named based on their SDS-PAGE mobility, so HSP27 has an apparent molecular weight of 27 kDa. It is an abundant protein even under non-stress conditions and frequently shows up as a major spot on 2 dimensional gels of cells or tissues. It is known to associate with a variety of other proteins such as actin, intermediate filament subunits and ubiquitin and is found both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of cells. HSP27 can become heavily phosphorylated under the influence of multiple protein kinases particularly as a result of activation of the p38/SAPK pathway. Upregulation of this protein is protective against neurodegenerative diseases at least in certain mouse models (1). Point mutations in the HSP27 gene are associated with two neurological diseases, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2F and distal hereditary motor neuropathy IIB (2). These diseases are associated with axonal loss apparently following defects in the transport of neurofilaments.

Mouse anti-Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein 1 (LAMP1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
LAMP1 (Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein 1, also known as CD107a, lysosomal associated membrane glycoprotein 1, LGP120 and LAMPA) is a protein primarily associated with the lysosomal membrane. In a typical cell LAMP1 is associated with spherical vesicles located next to the nucleus and the microtubule organizing center (1). LAMP1 is found on the cell surface of lymphocytes undergoing degranulation, a process in which cytoplasmic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane, and this phenomena resulted in discovery of LAMP1 as a CD protein. The LAMP1 protein has a large N-terminal region which is inside the lysosome, hence topologically external to the cell, which is often referred to as the lumenal domain (2). The lumenal domain consists of two homologous globular segments separated by a proline rich sequence. Next there is a single membrane spanning domain and a short 11 amino acid C-terminal cytoplasmic tail. This tail region contains, at the extreme C-terminus, a so-called YXXI motif which is responsible for the sorting of the intact molecule to the endosome and lysozome, where Y = tyrosine, I = isoleucine and X = almost any amino acid (3). This motif is found in several other lysosomal proteins, where it functions in the same way. There are 417 amino acids in the human LAMP1 molecule, giving a native molecular weight of 44.8 kDa. However the N-terminal lumenal segment of LAMP1 is very heavily and variably glycosylated due to the presence of 18 N-linked glycosylation sites, so that on SDS-PAGE and on Western blots the protein runs as a diffuse band at 90-120 kDa. Antibodies to LAMP1 are therefore excellent markers of lysosomes in mammalian cells, though some LAMP1 may also be seen on late endosomes and on the plasma membrane.

Mouse anti-Lamin A/C Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm (1). The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene (2), while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74 kDa while Lamin C is 65 kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal. Lamin polymerization and depolymerization is regulated by phosphorylation by cyclin dependent protein kinase 1 (CDK1), the key component of "maturation promoting factor", the central regulator of cell division. Activity of this kinase increases during cell division and is responsible for the breakdown of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene are associated with several serious human diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. This family of diseases belong to a larger group which are often referred to as Laminopathies, though some laminopathies are associated in defects in Lamin B1, B2 or one or other of the numerous nuclear lamina binding proteins. A truncated version of lamin A, commonly known as progerin, causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a form of premature aging (3).

Mouse anti-Ataxin-2 binding protein 1 (A2BP1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Fox1 is one of a family of 3 mammalian Fox1 homologues. Fox1 was discovered in C. elegans as a gene involved in sex determination, and the name Fox is an acronym of "Feminizing locus on X" (1). The C. elegans Fox1 protein and its 3 mammalian homologues are all about 46 kDa proteins and each includes a central highly conserved RRM type RNA recognition motif, which corresponds to a small ~70 amino acid structure consisting of 4 beta strands and two alpha-helices. This region is identical in all three mammalian Fox1 family proteins. An alternate name for Fox 1 is ataxin-2 binding protein 1 (A2BP1), since it was discovered in a yeast two hybrid screen using ataxin-2 as bait (2). As with the other Fox proteins, it is assumed that Fox1/A2BP1 has a role in the RNA splicing in the nervous system (3). Fox3, a protein also known as NeuN, is a widely used marker of neuronal nuclei and proximal cytoplasm (4, 5). Like Fox3, Fox1 is expressed in neuronal nuclei, but with a different pattern of expression than Fox3. For example, in the cerebellum Fox3 does not stain Purkinje neurons and Golgi neurons, but these two neuron types are stained by Fox1 antibody (6).

Mouse anti-Neurturin Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB.
Background Info:
Neurturin (NTN) is a member of the GDNF family of neurotrophic factors. This protein is a potent survival factor for several populations of central and peripheral neurons in mature and developing rodents. FUNCTION: Supports the survival of sympathetic neurons in culture. May regulate the development and maintenance of the CNS. Might control the size of non-neuronal cell population such as haemopoietic cells. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. DISEASE: Defects in NRTN are a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, and possibly with other loci, defects in NRTN are involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDNF subfamily.

Mouse anti-Visinin-like protein 1 (VLP-1) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Visinin (sometimes known as hippocalcin-like protein 3, HLP3, HPCAL3, HUVISL1, VLP-1, VILIP and VILIP-1) was originally isolated biochemically from chicken retina as a major protein of about 24 kDa on SDS-PAGE (1). Following cloning and sequencing of visinin, several visinin like proteins were discovered by homology screening (2, 3). One of these, Visinin-like protein 1 is a small Calcium binding protein which is very abundant in the nervous system and is found only in neurons, though different neurons have different levels of expression (4, 5). It is particularly concentrated in cerebellar Purkinje cells, and tends to be most abundant in perikarya and dendrites. The protein belongs to the large superfamLy of calmodulin and paravalbumin type proteins which function by binding Calcium ions. Calcium binding alters the confomation of these proteins and allow them to interact with other binding partners, the properties of which they may alter. Visinin-like protein 1 has four "EF hand" domains, which are negatively charged helix-turn-helix peptides which are responsible for Calcium binding. Visinin-like protein 1 is 191 amino acids in size and has a molecular weight on SDS-PAGE of 22 kDa. The protein has recently been suggested to be a useful biomarker of Alzheimer's disease and traumatic brain injury (6, 7, 8).

Mouse anti-Ubiquilin 2 Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Ubiquilin 2 (also known as PLIC2 and Chap1) is a member of the ubiquilin protein family, which regulate the degradation of cellular proteins through proteasome or autophage-like pathways (1, 2, 3). Humans have four ubiquilin genes, each encoding a separate protein referred to as Ubiquilin 1, 2, 3 and 4. All ubiquilins contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-like (UBL) domain and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain, while the central part of the molecules are highly variable. The UBL domains bind subunits of the proteasome, and the UBA domains binds to polyubiquitin chains that are typically conjugated onto proteins marked for proteosomal degradation (1). Ubiquilin 2 has a unique region close to the C terminus containing 12 PXX tandem collagen like repeats, where P is proline and X is most cases valine, glycine, isoleucine or threonine. Teepu Siddique and his collaborators have identified mutations in the ubiquilin 2 gene leading to protein point mutations which were important contributors to several forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Interestingly, these mutations involved alterations in proline residues in the PXX repeat region (P497H, P497S, P506T, P509S and P525S, ref. 4). Recently, the Lee and Trojanowski group investigated C9orf72 hexanucleotide expansion and ubiquilin 2 pathology in patients with ALS and FTLD by genetic analysis and immunohistochemistry and found distinct ubiquilin 2 pathology in ALS and FTLD-TDP with C9orf72 expansion (5). C9orf72 hexonucleotide expansion is the most commmon cause to date of familial ALS and FTLD (6, 7). Ubiquilin 2 protein is of different molecular size in mouse and human, 638 and 624 amino acids respectively. As a result the mouse protein, endogenously expressed in rodent 3T3 cells, runs on SDS-PAGE and western blots slightly slower than the human protein.

Mouse anti-mCherry Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
mCherry is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals). The mCherry protein was derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28 kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, but, obviously, produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. The original DsRed was engineered extensively in the Tsien lab to prevent it from forming tetramers and dimers and to modify and improve the spectral properties (1-3). The resulting monomeric protein is useful for applications such as Foerster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Several further cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection produced mCherry, which is monomeric and has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and and emission maximum at 610 nm (4).

Mouse anti-Growth associated protein 43 (GAP-43) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
GAP43 is very abundant protein which is found concentrated in neurons. One group discovered it as one of three proteins which becomes unregulated during the regeneration of the toad optic nerve (1). Three GAPs (Growth associated proteins) were discovered, and the number 43 comes from the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight of the one named GAP43. The HGNC name for this protein is, not surprisingly, GAP43. Later work showed that GAP43 does not run on SDS-PAGE in a fashion which accurately reflects its molecular weight, and that GAP43 proteins from different species may run at different apparent molecular weights. Partly due to these features GAP43 were independently discovered by several different groups and therefore has several alternate names, such as protein F1, pp46, neuromodulin, neural phosphoprotein B-50 and calmodulin-binding protein P-57. In each case the number reflects the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight, and underlines the unusual properties of this molecule. Mammalian GAP43 proteins contains only 226-243 amino acids, and so the real molecular weight is 23.61-25.14 kDa. GAP43 has been extensively studied and is known to be a major protein kinase C substrate and to bind calmodulin avidly. GAP43 is anchored to the plasma membrane by palmitoylation modifications.

Mouse anti-Doublecortin (DCX) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Doublecortin (DCX, also known as Doublin, Lissencephalin-X, DBCN and Lis-X) was originally discovered since defects in the gene encoding it are causative of X-linked lissencephaly, a rare group of brain malformations resulting in a smooth cerebral cortex caused by aberrant neuronal migration during development (1,2). The name Doublecortin comes from the unusual layering of the cortex in this form of lissencephaly, which appears to have a second deep cortical layer of neurons. This layer consists of neurons which did not migrate from the subventricular zone to the normal cortical layer. Patients with this defect suffer from seizures and mental retardation. Four proteins encoded by the DCX produce bands of about 35 kDa and 45 kDa on Western blots. The 45 kDa form is known as Lis-XA while the smaller forms are generated by alternate transcription, are all missing the first 81 amino acids of Lis-XA, and are referred to as Lis-XB, Lis-XC, Lis-XD. There are minor amino acid sequence differences between these three smaller isoforms. All of these proteins contain two so-called Doublecortin domains, each about 90 amino acids long, which are believed to function in binding to microtubules, a C-terminal serine and proline rich region which may become phosphorylated in vivo. DCX is expressed very early in neuronal development, as neuroblasts become post-mitotic, but is lost as neurons mature. Developing neurons start to lose DCX expression about the time that they begin to express NeuN. Antibodies to DCX can be used to see if neurogenesis is taking place.

Mouse anti-Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC, FC.
Background Info:
Actin is one of the most abundant and highly conserved proteins of eukaryotes. Mammalian actins are the product of six different genes with differing distribution patterns in cell types and in tissues. The molecular weight of all six proteins is 42 kDa, and one or more actins is found in essentially every type of crude cellular and tissue extract. As a result antibodies to actin are widely used as in western blotting standards. These can be used to verify that the various steps of the western blotting procedure have been performed correctly. In addition, actin is regarded as a "house keeping" protein which is generally not altered much in expression as a result of experimental manipulations. So quantitation of the actin band on the western is used as a standard against with the band density of other proteins can be compared. The monoclonal binds all six actin isotypes (ACTA1, ACTA2, ACTC1, ACTB, ACTG1 and ACTG2) very strongly on western blots. It is a very effective blotting standard which can work on any cell type or tissue extract. It also works in immunocytochemical experiments, binding strongly and cleanly to filopodia, membrane ruffles and stress fibers, all known to be rich in actin.

Mouse anti-Microtubule Associated Protein 2 (MAP2) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, ICC.
Background Info:
Microtubules are 25nm diameter protein rods found in most kinds of eukaryotic cells. They are polymerized from a dimeric subunit made of one 'a' subunit and one 'b' tubulin subunit. Microtubules are associated with a family of proteins called microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), which includes the protein t (tau) and a group of proteins referred to as MAP1, MAP2, MAP3, MAP4 and MAP5. MAP2 is made up of two ~280 kDa apparent molecular weight bands referred to as MAP2 a and MAP2 b. A third lower molecular weight form, usually called MAP2c, corresponds to a pair of protein bands running at ~70 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. All these MAP2 forms are derived from a single gene by alternate transcription, and all share a C-terminal sequence which includes either three or four microtubule binding peptide sequences, which are very similar to those found in the related microtubule binding protein t (tau). MAP2 isoforms are expressed only in neuronal cells and specifically in the perikarya and dendrites of these cells. Antibodies to MAP2 are therefore excellent markers on neuronal cells, their perikarya and neuronal dendrites.

Mouse anti-Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded, ICC, IP, FC.
Background Info:
Tyrosine hydroxylase is an excellent marker for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons. Tyrosine hydroxylase (a.k.a. tyrosine 3-monooxygenase) is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of the amino acid L-tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). L-DOPA is a precursor for dopamine, which, in turn, is a precursor for the important neurotransmitters norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Tyrosine hydroxylase catalyzes the rate limiting step in this synthesis of catecholamines. In humans, tyrosine hydroxylase is encoded by the TH gene, and the enzyme is present in the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral symphatic neurons and the adrenal medulla. The enzymatic activity of TH requires ferrous ions as cofactors and is believed to be regulated by phosphorylation. At least four isoforms of human TH have been identified which result from alternative splicing. Tyrosine hydroxylase, phenylalanine hydroxylase and tryptophan hydroxylase together make up the family of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases (AAAHs).

The amyloid beta peptide is derived from the cleavage of the Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and varies in length from 39 to 43 amino acids. However, the form(s) of amyloid-beta peptide (A? associated with the pathology characteristic of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unclear. In particular, the neurotoxicity of intraneuronal A? accumulation is an area of considerable research and controversy principally because antibodies thought to be specific for A? have been shown to actually detect intraneuronal APP and not A? exclusively.<br /><br />MOAB-2 (mouse IgG2b) is a pan-specific, high-titer antibody to A? residues 1-4 as demonstrated by biochemical and immunohistochemical analyses (IHC), and is highly specific just to amyloid beta peptide.<br /><br />MOAB-2 did not detect APP or APP-CTFs in cell culture media/lysates (HEK-APPSwe or HEK APPSwe/BACE1) or in brain homogenates from transgenic mice expressing 5 familial AD (FAD) mutation (5xFAD mice). <br /><br />Using IHC on 5xFAD brain tissue, MOAB-2 immunoreactivity co-localized with C-terminal antibodies specific for A?40 and A?42. MOAB-2 did not co-localize with either N- or C-terminal antibodies to APP. In addition, no MOAB-2-immunreactivity was observed in the brains of 5xFAD/BACE-/- mice, although significant amounts of APP were detected by N- and C-terminal antibodies to APP, as well as by 6E10.<br /><br />In both 5xFAD and 3xTg mouse brain tissue, MOAB-2 co-localized with cathepsin-D, a marker for acidic organelles, further evidence for intraneuronal A?, distinct from A? associated with the cell membrane. MOAB-2 demonstrated strong intraneuronal and extra-cellular immunoreactivity in 5xFAD and 3xTg mouse brain tissues.

Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry/paraffin embedded IH(P), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunofluorescence (IF), ELISA.<br><br>Antibody has been tested in WB using purified synthetic beta-amyloid preparations and from transgenic mouse brain formic acid extracts (see figure 1). Formic acid extraction/concentration is required for western blot detection from extracts. MOAB-2 antibody is specific for beta-amyloid and does not detect APP. Suggested dilution of 1:2000-1:5,000 for WB, standard ECL detection systems. <br><br>Tissue samples for the detection of beta-amyloid should be prepared as detailed in K.L. Youmans et al. {Journal of Neuroscience Methods 196 (2011) 51-59} for best results. Detection of beta-amyloid 40/42 in direct westerns can be difficult; Dot-blots of prepared samples are recommended as detailed in Youmans. KL et al 2012. <br><br>IR or fluorescent detection systems not yet tested, they but are expected to work well with higher primary antibody dilutions because of the increased sensitivity of the detection methods.<br><br>Suggested dilutions for IHC are 1:50-1:1,000. Fresh frozen, 4% paraformaldehyde fixed frozen, or formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues are all suitable. Optimal dilutions must be determined by the end user. Antigen retrieval is required in fixed tissues for optimal staining.<br><br>Antibody was tested on 4% paraformaldehyde/0.1% glutaraldehyde fixed frozen tissue from 3xTg and 5xFAD mice. MOAB-2 antibody detects intraneuronal and extracellular beta-amyloid in IHC and does not detect APP {Youmans KL et al 2012}.<br><br> The antibody also reacts with archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples with antigen Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval (HIER): Recommended Citrate, pH 6.0 buffer for HIER. Signal was weak without antigen retrieval. Immunoreactively was expressed in intraneural-amyloid deposition (plaque) in Alzheimer's brain. MoAB-2 was found to be extremely clean and with an excellent signal to noise ratio with no neuro-cellular diffusive staining.<br><br>In addition MOAB-2 demonstrated no significant differences in A-beta detection using paraffin fixed, free-floating sections {Youmans KL et al 2012}. Formic acid (FA) treatment resulted in optimal detection of both intraneuronal and extracellular A-beta compared to without FA (incubated in 88% FA 8 min, Youmans KL et al 2012). Free floating tissue sections were permeabilized in TBS containing 0.25% Triton X-100 (TBSX; 3 x 10 min), blocked with 3% horse serum in TBSX (3 x 10 min) followed by 1% horse serum in TBSX (2 x10 min) and incubated with appropriate primary antibodies diluted in TBSX containing 1% horse serum overnight. See Youmans KL et al 2012 for full IH(P) protocol and method details.<br><br> For IF, suggested dilution is 1:100-1:500. The antibody was tested on 4% PFA fixed frozen tissue. Fixed tissues were washed in TBS (3 x 10 min), then incubated in 88% FA (8 min), and then permeabilized in TBSX (3 x 10 min), and blocked in TBSX containing 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA; 1 hr). Sections were subsequently incubated with appropriate primary antibodies diluted in TBSX containing 2% BSA overnight on an oscillatory rotator. Detection was via fluorescently labelled absorbed secondary antibodies {Youmans KL et al 2012}.<br><br>For IP, the suggested dilution is 1:200 to 1:1,000 for labeled beta-amyloid using Protein A/G conjugated beads as the capture vehicle {Youmans KL et al 2012}.<br><br>In an ELISA, a dilution of 1:50-1:1000 is suggested. The antibody has been tested in ELISAs on synthetic beta-amyloid and tissue homogenates from beta-amyloid-Tg mice. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user for all applications. Dilutions provided are only meant to serve as a basic guide.

Specificity:
MOAB-2 detects preparations enriched in U-, O-, F-A?42, and U-A?40 by dot-blot, and is thus a pan-specific A? antibody. However, MOAB-2 is selective for the more neurotoxic A?42 compared to A?40. Indeed, MOAB-2 demonstrated a titration against antigen concentration, and detects A?40 at 2.5 pmol but U-, O- and FA?b42 at antigen concentrations as low as ~ 0.1 pmol {Youmans. KL et al 2012}. MOAB-2 does not detect APP (Amyloid precursor protein). Human, Rat, other species not yet tested.By Dot blot, MOAB-2 detected rat A?40 and human A?40, albeit with less affinity than for A?42. {Youmans. KL et al 2012}

Mouse anti-Polyubiqutin-B Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded.
Background Info:
Ubiquitin is a highly conserved 76 amino acid protein with an estimated molecular weight of 8.56 kDa which has a central role in regulated protein degradation. It is a protein modifier which can be covalently attached to target lysines either as a monomer or as a lysine-linked polymer. Several types of polymeric chains can be formed depending on the lysine used for the assembly. Attachment to proteins as a polymer leads to their degradation by the 26S proteosome; a complex, multicatalytic cytosolic and nuclear protease. Attachment to proteins as a monomer or as an alternatively linked polymer does not lead to proteasomal degradation and may be required for numerous functions, including maintenance of chromatic structure, regulation of gene expression, stress response, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair. Ubiquitin is synthesized as a polyubiquitin precursor with exact head to tail repeats, the number of repeats of which differ between species and strains. In some species there is a final amino-acid after the last repeat, here in bovine a Cys. Some ubiquitin genes contain a single copy of ubiquitin fused to a ribosomal protein (either L40 or S27a).

Mouse anti-Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Nestin is a member of the class IV intermediate filament protein family which is expressed in neuronal stem cells. The molecular weight of human Nestin as determined by SDS-PAGE mobility is about 240 kDa. However the real molecular weight is considerably less than this, at 177 kDa, the disparity being likely due to the highly charged region of the C-terminal segment. Nestin is relatively poorly conserved in protein sequence across species boundaries, so that the mouse and human proteins have an overall identity of only 62%. As a result antibodies to the human protein often fail to recognize the rodent homologue and vice versa. However this antibody stains both rodent and human Nestin. Antibodies to Nestin are widely used to identify neural stem cells.

Mouse anti-Myelin basic protein (MBP) Monoclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, ICC.
Background Info:
Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the nervous tissue and functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of the stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin isolated from human and bovine nervous tissue is composed of approximately 80% lipid and 20% protein, and 30% of the protein fraction constitutes myelin basic protein (MBP). MBP is an 'intrinsically unstructured' protein with a high proportion (approximately 75%) of random coil, but postulated to have core elements of beta-sheet and alpha-helix. MBP is a major protein in CNS myelin and is expressed specifically in the nervous system. A detailed immunochemical examination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibody responses to MBP and its peptides has revealed the existence of as many as 27 antigenic determinants, many of them conformational. Topological mapping of the potential antigenic determinants onto a model of MBP secondary structure places these determinants within 11 separate regions of the molecule, including those portions that have been found to be encephalitogenic. The message for myelin basic protein is selectively translocated to the ends of the cell processes. Immunization with myelin-associated antigens including MBP significantly promotes recovery after spinal cord contusion injury in the rat model. FUNCTION: Is, with PLP, the most abundant protein component of the myelin membrane in the CNS. Has a role in both the formation and stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. Each splice variant and charge isomer may have a specialized function in the assembly of an optimized, biochemically functional myelin membrane (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Myelin membrane; peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic side of myelin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in both the central and the peripheral nervous system.

Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10nm diameter filaments found in neuronal cells. They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin. Alpha-internexin is a ~66 kDa Class IV intermediate filament subunit expressed in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is downregulated in many neurons as development procedes. Many classes of mature neurons contain alpha-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to alpha-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of alpha-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage.

Fibrillarin is part of the small subunit processome complex, involved in the processing of pre-18S ribosomal RNA. Nop1p is the yeast homologue of fibrillarin. Fibrillarin/Nop1p is extraordinarily conserved, so that the yeast and human proteins are 67% identical, and the human protein can functionally replace the yeast protein. This means that suitably cross-reactive antibodies to Nop1p/fibrillarin such as this antibody can be used to reveal nucleoli and study fibrillarin/Nop1p in all eukaryotes and archea tested to date. This antibody is becoming widely used as a convenient marker for nucleoli in a wide variety of species.

Clone OX-42 recognises the rat equivalent of human CD11b and shares a common epitope with CB11c (integrin apha M and alpha X chains). (PMID:1672643; Tamatani T et al 1991). CD11b is a single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the integrin alpha chain family. CD11b is predominantly expressed in monocytes and granulocytes and is implicated in various adhesive interactions of monocytes, macrophages and granulocytes as well as in mediating the uptake of complement-coated particles (Ref: SWISSPROT). CD11b is also frequently used as a microglial marker allowing to distinguish between quiescent and activated microglia based on the intensity of CD11b staining. Moreover the OX-42 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to the CR3 complement (C3bi) receptor found on most monocytes, granulocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, and microglia. OX-42 antibody inhibits C3bi binding activity.<br />CD11b, also known as integrin alpha M or Mac-1, and is a component of complement receptor 3 (CR3). CD11c, also known as integrin alpha X, and is a component of complement receptor 4 (CR4). Integrin alpha-X/beta-2 is a receptor for fibrinogen. CD11b and CD11c are expressed on immune cells such as macrophages, monocytes, granulocytes, and dendritic cells. OX42 has also been shown to detect microglia in the brain, as well as cells of the liver and epidermis.

Specificity:
Clone OX-42 recognises the rat equivalent of human CD11b and shares a common epitope with CB11c (integrin apha M and alpha X chains). (PMID:1672643; Tamatani T et al 1991). Immunoprecipitates three polypeptides of 160 kDa, 103 kDa and 95 kDa and a fainter band may also be seen at 133 kDa under non-reducing conditions. If the immunoprecipitated proteins are reduced, two major peptides of 163 kDa and 100 kDa and a minor 135 kDa peptide are seen. Mis-information exists concerning reactivity to mouse and human CD11b/c with OX-42 from various vendors. Biosensis has not verified that OX42 reacts with mouse and human, and ONLY recommends the clone only for rat as the original paper and most papers use the OX family of clones on rat.

Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) is also referred to as p75(NTR) due to its molecular mass and its ability to bind at low affinity not only NGF (see 162030), but also other neurotrophins, including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; 113505), neurotrophin-3 (NTF3; 162660), and neurotrophin-4/5 (NTF5; 162662). At the time of its discovery, NGFR was considered a unique type of protein. Subsequently, however, a large superfamily of tumor necrosis factor receptors were found to share the overall structure of NGFR (4 extracellular ligand-binding, cysteine-rich repeats, or CRs, and signaling through association with, or disassociation from, cytoplasmic interactors). The identification of this superfamily helped elucidate some of the biologic functions of NGFR, including its ultimate involvement in the nuclear factor kappa-B (NFKB; see 164011) and apoptosis pathways. As a monomer, NGFR binds NGF with low affinity. Higher affinity binding is achieved by association with higher molecular mass, low-affinity neurotrophin receptors, namely the tropomyosin receptor kinases, TRKA (NTRK1; 191315), TRKB (NTRK2; 600456), and TRKC (NTRK3; 191316). TRKA, TRKB, and TRKC are specific for or 'preferred by' NGF, NTF5 and BDNF, and NTF3, respectively (Ip et al., 1993). NTF3 also binds to TRKA and TRKB, but with significantly lower affinity

Monoclonal antibody MC192 against the rat low affinity nerve growth factor receptor (p75NTR) is derived from the fusion of Sp2/0-Ag 14 myeloma cells with mouse immune splenocytes. MC192 monoclonal antibody was originally generated by Chandlers et al. p75NTR was originally discovered as a low affinity nerve growth factor receptor. Later it was found that it was the receptor for all neurotrophins. It mediates signals of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. Recently, it has been revealed that p75NTR not only acts as the receptor for neurotrophins but also the receptor for many other pathological ligands such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. p75NTR also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO which mediates inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein. p75NTR is highly expressed in a number of non-neuronal and neuronal cells including motor neurons during development and also in damaged neurons. MC192 has a potential use as the ligand for gene delivery into p75NTR-expressing rat cells via a receptor-mediated mechanism. FUNCTION: Low affinity receptor which can bind to NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4. Can mediate cell survival as well as cell death of neural cells. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with p75NTR-associated cell death executor. Interacts with NGFRAP1/BEX3. Interacts with TRAF2, TRAF4, TRAF6, PTPN13 and RANBP9. Interacts through TRAF6 with SQSTM1 which bridges NGFR to NTRK1 (By similarity).

Application Details:
Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, NGF receptor p75 dynamics, retrograde transport studies, study of intracellular trafficking. Suggested working dilutions: For immunohistochemistry a concentration of 1-2 µg/mL is recommended. The antibody is not appropriate for Western Blots.

MC192 is not suitable as a blocking agent, although it has been incorrectly used for this purpose in many published works. The antibody was generated specifically by screening for monoclonals that had the ability to ENHANCE the binding of NGF, the natural ligand for p75. Therefore, this antibody is particularly unusual. The full details can be found in the original paper, which is listed on our datasheet (see Chandler et al, 1984). Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The FITC version of MC192 is primarily targeted for FACS or IF applications on live or lightly fixed cells. Antibody will not work in traditional formalin fixed tissues.

Goat anti-Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for ELISA.
Background Info:
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a lipoprotein involved in fat metabolism and acts as cholesterol carrier between cells and across tissues. On a genetic level, three APOE alleles are described, APOE2, APOE3 and APOE4. These alleles give rise to six APOE isoforms, which are differentially implicated in various diseases. In the peripheral system, APOE4 is linked to increased risk of atherosclerosis. In the CNS, the ability of APOE4 in clearing beta-amyloid is impaired, while APOE3 and APOE2 are more efficient in performing this task. The APOE4 genotype in particular has been linked to increased risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease.

This cell lysate is suitable as positive control for Western Blotting, to confirm TrkB phosphorylation at amino acid S478 (rat/mouse) or S479 (human), respectively, using TrkB (pS478/479) rabbit antibody R-1718-50. It is particular useful for complex Western Blotting samples to identify TrkB (pS478/479) immunoreactive bands. This lysate has been prepared by triggering TrkB phosphorylation in retinoic acid-treated mouse NSC34 cells with mature BDNF, and subsequent processing with RIPA buffer. The cell lysate is provided lyophilised for extended stability.
Background Info:
Receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and the maturation of the central and the peripheral nervous systems through regulation of neuron survival, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and synapse formation and plasticity (By similarity). Receptor for BDNF/brain-derived neurotrophic factor and NTF4/neurotrophin-4. Alternatively can also bind NTF3/neurotrophin-3 which is less efficient in activating the receptor but regulates neuron survival through NTRK2. Upon ligand-binding, undergoes homodimerization, autophosphorylation and activation. Recruits, phosphorylates and/or activates several downstream effectors including SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 and PLCG1 that regulate distinct overlapping signaling cascades. Through SHC1, FRS2, SH2B1, SH2B2 activates the GRB2-Ras-MAPK cascade that regulates for instance neuronal differentiation including neurite outgrowth. Through the same effectors controls the Ras-PI3 kinase-AKT1 signaling cascade that mainly regulates growth and survival. Through PLCG1 and the downstream protein kinase C-regulated pathways controls synaptic plasticity. Thereby, plays a role in learning and memory by regulating both short term synaptic function and long-term potentiation. PLCG1 also leads to NF-Kappa-B activation and the transcription of genes involved in cell survival. Hence, it is able to suppress anoikis, the apoptosis resulting from loss of cell-matrix interactions. May also play a role in neutrophin-dependent calcium signaling in glial cells and mediate communication between neurons and glia (Ref: uniprot.org).

Chicken anti-Ki-67 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Required to maintain individual mitotic chromosomes dispersed in the cytoplasm following nuclear envelope disassembly (PubMed:27362226). Associates with the surface of the mitotic chromosome, the perichromosomal layer, and covers a substantial fraction of the chromosome surface (PubMed:27362226). Prevents chromosomes from collapsing into a single chromatin mass by forming a steric and electrostatic charge barrier: the protein has a high net electrical charge and acts as a surfactant, dispersing chromosomes and enabling independent chromosome motility (PubMed:27362226). Binds DNA, with a preference for supercoiled DNA and AT-rich DNA (PubMed:10878551). Does not contribute to the internal structure of mitotic chromosomes (By similarity). May play a role in chromatin organization (PubMed:24867636). It is however unclear whether it plays a direct role in chromatin organization or whether it is an indirect consequence of its function in maintaining mitotic chromosomes dispersed (Probable).

Chicken anti-Heat shock protein 27 (HSP-27) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The heat shock proteins were discovered, as the name suggests, since they are heavily upregulated when cells are stressed by temperatures above the normal physiological range. They are expressed in unstressed cells also and have a normal function as chaperones, helping other proteins to fold correctly, and are required in much greater amounts if the cell or tissue is stressed by heat. The increased levels are generated transcriptionally under the influence of a powerful transcription factor, the heat shock factor 1 (HSF1). The different heat shock proteins were originally named based on their SDS-PAGE mobility, so HSP27 has an apparent molecular weight of 27 kDa. It is an abundant protein even under non-stress conditions and frequently shows up as a major spot on 2 dimensional gels of cells or tissues. It is known to associate with a variety of other proteins such as actin, intermediate filament subunits and ubiquitin and is found both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of cells. HSP27 can become heavily phosphorylated under the influence of multiple protein kinases particularly as a result of activation of the p38/SAPK pathway. Upregulation of this protein is protective against neurodegenerative diseases at least in certain mouse models (1). Point mutations in the HSP27 gene are associated with two neurological diseases, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2F and distal hereditary motor neuropathy IIB (2). These diseases are associated with axonal loss apparently following defects in the transport of neurofilaments.

Chicken anti-Lamin A/C Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm (1). The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene (2), while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74 kDa while Lamin C is 65 kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal. Lamin polymerization and depolymerization is regulated by phosphorylation by cyclin dependent protein kinase 1 (CDK1), the key component of "maturation promoting factor", the central regulator of cell division. Activity of this kinase increases during cell division and is responsible for the breakdown of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene are associated with several serious human diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. This family of diseases belong to a larger group which are often referred to as Laminopathies, though some laminopathies are associated in defects in Lamin B1, B2 or one or other of the numerous nuclear lamina binding proteins. A truncated version of lamin A, commonly known as progerin, causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a form of premature aging (3).

Chicken anti-Microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Promotes microtubule assembly and stability, and might be involved in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal polarity. The C-terminus binds axonal microtubules while the N-terminus binds neural plasma membrane components, suggesting that tau functions as a linker protein between both. Axonal polarity is predetermined by tau localization (in the neuronal cell) in the domain of the cell body defined by the centrosome. The short isoforms allow plasticity of the cytoskeleton whereas the longer isoforms may preferentially play a role in its stabilization. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm; cytosol. Cell membrane. Mostly found in the axons of neurons, in the cytosol and in association with plasma membrane components. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 8 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. Additional isoforms seem to exist. Isoforms differ from each other by the presence or absence of up to 5 of the 15 exons. One of these optional exons contains the additional tau/MAP repeat. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in neurons. Isoform PNS-tau is expressed in the peripheral nervous system while the others are expressed in the central nervous system. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Four-repeat (type II) tau is expressed in an adult-specific manner and is not found in fetal brain, whereas three-repeat (type I) tau is found in both adult and fetal brain. DOMAIN: The tau/MAP repeat binds to tubulin. In Alzheimer disease, the neuronal cytoskeleton in the brain is progressively disrupted and replaced by tangles of paired helical filaments and straight filaments, mainly composed of hyperphosphorylated forms of Microtubule-associated protein Tau. Defects in Microtubule-associated protein Tau are a cause of frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17, as well as a number of other neurodegenerative diseases.

Chicken anti-mCherry Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
mCherry is an engineered derivative of one of a family of proteins originally isolated from Cnidarians (jelly fish, sea anemones and corals). The mCherry protein was derived from DsRed, a red fluorescent protein from so-called disc corals of the genus Discosoma. DsRed is a 223 amino acid ~28 kDa protein similar in size and properties to GFP, but, obviously, produces a red rather than a green fluorochrome. The original DsRed was engineered extensively in the Tsien lab to prevent it from forming tetramers and dimers and to modify and improve the spectral properties (1-3). The resulting monomeric protein is useful for applications such as Foerster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET, also known as Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer). Several further cycles of mutation, directed modification and evolutionary selection produced mCherry, which is monomeric and has an excitation maximum at 587 nm and and emission maximum at 610 nm (4).

Chicken anti-Growth associated protein 43 (GAP-43) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
GAP43 is very abundant protein which is found concentrated in neurons. One group discovered it as one of three proteins which becomes unregulated during the regeneration of the toad optic nerve (1). Three GAPs (Growth associated proteins) were discovered, and the number 43 comes from the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight of the one named GAP43. The HGNC name for this protein is, not surprisingly, GAP43. Later work showed that GAP43 does not run on SDS-PAGE in a fashion which accurately reflects its molecular weight, and that GAP43 proteins from different species may run at different apparent molecular weights. Partly due to these features GAP43 were independently discovered by several different groups and therefore has several alternate names, such as protein F1, pp46, neuromodulin, neural phosphoprotein B-50 and calmodulin-binding protein P-57. In each case the number reflects the apparent SDS-PAGE molecular weight, and underlines the unusual properties of this molecule. Mammalian GAP43 proteins contains only 226-243 amino acids, and so the real molecular weight is 23.61-25.14 kDa. GAP43 has been extensively studied and is known to be a major protein kinase C substrate and to bind calmodulin avidly. GAP43 is anchored to the plasma membrane by palmitoylation modifications.

GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDNF subfamily.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. POst translation modification: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Chicken anti-Myelin basic protein (MBP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded, ICC.
Background Info:
Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the nervous tissue and functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of the stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin isolated from human and bovine nervous tissue is composed of approximately 80% lipid and 20% protein, and 30% of the protein fraction constitutes myelin basic protein (MBP). MBP is an 'intrinsically unstructured' protein with a high proportion (approximately 75%) of random coil, but postulated to have core elements of beta-sheet and alpha-helix. MBP is a major protein in CNS myelin and is expressed specifically in the nervous system. A detailed immunochemical examination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibody responses to MBP and its peptides has revealed the existence of as many as 27 antigenic determinants, many of them conformational. Topological mapping of the potential antigenic determinants onto a model of MBP secondary structure places these determinants within 11 separate regions of the molecule, including those portions that have been found to be encephalitogenic. The message for myelin basic protein is selectively translocated to the ends of the cell processes. Immunization with myelin-associated antigens including MBP significantly promotes recovery after spinal cord contusion injury in the rat model. FUNCTION: Is, with PLP, the most abundant protein component of the myelin membrane in the CNS. Has a role in both the formation and stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. Each splice variant and charge isomer may have a specialized function in the assembly of an optimized, biochemically functional myelin membrane (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Myelin membrane; peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic side of myelin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in both the central and the peripheral nervous system.

Chicken anti-Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, IHC-Paraffin-embedded, ICC.
Background Info:
Microtubules are 25nm diameter protein rods found in most kinds of eukarytic cells. They are polymerized from a dimeric subunit made of one a subunit and one b tubulin subunit. Microtubules are associated with a family of proteins called microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), which includes the protein t (tau) and a group of proteins referred to as MAP1, MAP2, MAP3, MAP4 and MAP5. MAP2 is made up of two ~280 kDa apparent molecular weight bands referred to as MAP2a and MAP2b. A third lower molecular weight form, usually called MAP2c, corresponds to a pair of protein bands running at ~70 kDa on SDS-PAGE gels. All these MAP2 forms are derived from a single gene by alternate transcription, and all share a C-terminal sequence which includes either three or four microtubule binding peptide sequences, which are very similar to those found in the related microtubule binding protein t (tau). MAP2 isoforms are expressed only in neuronal cells and specifically in the perikarya and dendrites of these cells. Antibodies to MAP2 are therefore excellent markers on neuronal cells, their perikarya and neuronal dendrites.

Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10nm diameter filaments found in neuronal cells. They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin. Alpha-internexin is a ~66 kDa Class IV intermediate filament subunit expressed in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is downregulated in many neurons as development procedes. Many classes of mature neurons contain alpha-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to alpha-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of alpha-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage.

?-Casein is expressed as 13 genetic variants resulting from single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the CSN2 gene. The most frequent genetic variants in western dairy breeds are ?-Casein A1 and ?-Casein A2. The two types of ?-Casein protein, A1 and A2, differ by a single-point mutation at amino acid position 82 (P82/H82). The Biosensis Bovine A1 ?-Casein enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of the bovine A1 ?-Casein isoform in 5 hours. This kit consists of a pre-coated rabbit anti-Bovine ?-Casein polyclonal capture antibody, a chicken anti-bovine A1 ?-Casein detection antibody and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated donkey anti-chicken IgY antibody. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5' -tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of Bovine A1 ?-Casein present in samples and protein standards. Extensive validation has shown accurate quantification of A1 ?-Casein in UHT (Ultra High Temperature) treated milk or long life milk, organic pasteurized and homogenized full cream milk, fresh pasteurized and homogenized milk, cold-pressed raw milk (non-pasteurized, non-homogenized), and biodynamic full-cream whole milk. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions. The A2 isoform is not detected in this ELISA assay.

The Biosensis Mature BDNF/proBDNF Combo Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit combines individual, but complementary ELISA kits for the two most important BDNF isoforms: Mature BDNF ( BEK-2211 ) and full-length proBDNF ( BEK-2237 ). Both kits are sandwich ELISAs, useful for the quantification of mature BDNF and proBDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (citrate and EDTA), mouse and rat cell lysates and rat brain extracts only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the most current kit protocols for BEK-2211 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA) and BEK-2237 (proBDNF Rapid TM ELISA), for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples. BEK-2241 is the preferred Combo kit for human blood samples. The Mature BDNF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-mature BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The proBDNF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated monoclonal anti-proBDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature BDNF or proBDNF present in samples and protein standards. A BDNF and proBDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. Both ELISA kits contain high quality protein calibrators. The Mature BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant E.coli-derived human mature BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org). The amino acid sequence of mature BDNF is identical for human, mouse, rat and a number of other species. This kit therefore is suitable to measure mature BDNF in all these species and uses the same antibodies and antigen. The proBDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant mammalian, cleavage-resistant human proBDNF standard produced by Biosensis and validated against externally available proBDNF proteins. Due to a high degree of amino acid sequence homology, mouse and rat proBDNF can be quantified and expressed as human proBDNF equivalents. Internal Biosensis validation suggests that the use of the human standard provided in this kit will provide estimates that are identical, or close, to the actual levels of rat and mouse proBDNF present in rodent samples. Note that accurate proBDNF quantification in human serum and citrate-plasma requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-004-500 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Specificity:
Mature BDNF ELISA: Human, mouse, rat BDNF and numerous other species. Although the BDNF assay antibodies are raised against the mature domain, the mature BDNF ELISA preferentially detects mature BDNF over full-length proBDNF.
proBDNF ELISA: Human, mouse and rat proBDNF. The capture antibody used in the proBDNF ELISA kit binds to epitopes within the pro-domain of proBDNF. Thus, this ELISA detects the full length and potentially truncated form of proBDNF, and does not quantify mature BDNF.

Background Info:
The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor (NGFR), also known as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR; TNFRS16; CD271) is a common receptor for the neurotrophins NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. In neurons, p75NTR mediates a variety of physiological functions including survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. A potential pathological role for p75NTR has become evident in recent years. Altered p75NTR expression levels are implicated in degeneration of spinal motor neurons in human and mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Importantly, the extracellular domain of p75NTR (p75ECD) is shed from the cell membrane and excreted in urine. Recent findings further suggest that p75ECD could be an early biomarker for ALS in humans, as significantly elevated p75ECD levels are found in urine of ALS patients as compared to healthy controls.

Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

The Biosensis Mouse and Rat proNGF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of rodent full-length proNGF protein in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and cell lysates only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit contains a recombinant mouse proNGF standard expressed in E.coli and consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proNGF present in samples and protein standards. This ELISA kit is expected to detect rat proNGF due to high degree of homology (96%) with mouse proNGF based on amino acid sequence, and the ability of this kit in detecting proNGF in rat PC12 cell lysates. In the absence of a true rat proNGF standard, results may be expressed as 'mouse proNGF equivalents'. This ELISA kit shows only 20% reactivity with the human form of proNGF and is therefore not suitable to quantify human proNGF. No cross-reactivity was observed with mature mouse NGF and full-length proBDNF when tested in assay buffer. The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the pro-domain (capture) and mature domain (detection) of the protein, thus this ELISA assay does not detect the pro-domain peptide. This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of proNGF standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Rabbit anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Therefore the regulation of the TH enzyme represents the central means for controlling the synthesis of these important catecholamines. FUNCTION: Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin. COFACTOR: Fe(2+) ion. ENZYME REGULATION: Phosphorylation leads to an increase in the catalytic activity. PATHWAY: Catecholamine biosynthesis; first step. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. PTM: In vitro, phosphorylation of Ser-19 increases the rate of Ser-40 phosphorylation, which results in enzyme opening and activation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family. The presence of different DNA sequences at the TH locus confers susceptibility to various disorders of the brain including manic-depression and schizophrenia. Parkinson's disease is also considered a TH deficiency as low dopamine levels are a consistent neurochemical abnormality.

MAP1A and MAP1B are microtubule-associated protein which mediate the physical interactions between microtubules and components of the cytoskeleton (probably involved in autophagosome formation). MAP1A and MAP1B each consist of a heavy chain subunit and 3 different light chain subunits (LC1, LC2 and LC3). MAP1LC3A is one of the light chain subunits and can associate with either MAP1A or MAP1B. The precursor form of MAP1LC3A is cleaved by APG4/ATG4B to form the cytosolic form LC3-1. This is activated by APG7L/ATG7, transferred to ATG3 and conjugated to phospholipid to form the membrane-bound form, LC3-II. MAP1LC3A is most abundant in heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle and testis but is absent in thymus and peripheral leukocytes.

Rabbit anti-Ubiquitin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Ubiquitin is a highly conserved 76 amino acid protein with an estimated molecular weight of 8.56 kDa which has a central role in regulated protein degradation. It is a protein modifier which can be covalently attached to target lysines either as a monomer or as a lysine-linked polymer. Several types of polymeric chains can be formed depending on the lysine used for the assembly. Attachment to proteins as a polymer leads to their degradation by the 26S proteosome; a complex, multicatalytic cytosolic and nuclear protease. Attachment to proteins as a monomer or as an alternatively linked polymer does not lead to proteasomal degradation and may be required for numerous functions, including maintenance of chromatic structure, regulation of gene expression, stress response, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair. Ubiquitin is synthesized as a polyubiquitin precursor with exact head to tail repeats, the number of repeats of which differ between species and strains. In some species there is a final amino-acid after the last repeat, here in bovine a Cys. Some ubiquitin genes contain a single copy of ubiquitin fused to a ribosomal protein (either L40 or S27a).

They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin. Alpha-internexin is a ~66 kDa Class IV intermediate filament subunit expressed in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is downregulated in many neurons as development procedes. Many classes of mature neurons contain alpha-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to alpha-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of alpha-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage.

Rabbit anti-Coronin- 1A Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
Background Info:
Coronins belong to the WD40 or WD family of proteins. Coronins appear to be particularly involved in binding to actin, actin associated proteins, tubulin and phospholipase C and have been implicated in the mechanisms of chemotaxis and phagocytosis. In mammals there are at least five major coronin proteins, named coronins 1 to 5 in one nomenclature. Another nomenclature divides these five proteins in coronins 1a and 1b, 2a, 2b and 2c (see the Human Genone Organization Gene Nomenclature Committee link for this family). The mammalian coronin family members are abundant components of eukaryotic cells and each type has a restricted cell type specific expression pattern. Coronin 1A is found exclusively in hematopoetic lineage cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages and neutrophils. This antibody is therefore an excellent marker of cells of this lineage and can also be used to study the leading edges particularly of neutrophils. Since the only hematopoetic cells found within the central nervous system are microglia, this antibody is also an excellent marker of this important cell type. Microglia are numerically fairly minor components of the nervous system, but microglial activation is seen in response to a wide variety of damage and disease states, including ALS, Alzheimer's disease and responses to brain tumors. Since coronin 1a is a constitutive component of microglia, the coronin 1a antibody can be used to study both quiescent and activated microglia.

The 6X His tag is a short peptide sequence of 6 histidine residues. Epitopes such as the 6X His tag are often included with the target DNA at the time of cloning to produce fusion proteins containing the tag sequence. This allows anti-epitope tag antibodies such as this one to serve as a universal detection reagent for any recombinant protein containing this tag. Anti-epitope antibodies are a useful alternative to generating antibodies to identify a specific recombinant protein. The 6X His motif is often used as a tag on recombinant proteins to facilitate purification with immobilized metal-affinity chromatography.

Rabbit anti-Contactin-6 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
The neural adhesion molecule Contactin-6, also known as NB-3, is a contactin/F3 subgroup member of immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed exclusively in the nervous system and mainly upregulated at the early postnatal stage during mouse brain development. Employing Northern blot analysis Kamei et al found that amongst different regions of the adult human nervous system cerebellum expressed highest level of NB-3 mRNA. The expression of NB-3 in the cerebellum increases until adulthood. In contrast, the expression in the cerebrum declines to a low level after postnatal day 7. NB-3 like other neural recognition molecules plays a vitally important role in axonal guidance during development, plasticity, and maintenance of synaptic connections in the adult brain. Cui et al recently showed that NB-3 acts as a novel Notch ligand to participate in oligodendrocyte generation. Furthermore, NB-3 triggers nuclear translocation of the Notch intracellular domain and promotes oligodendrogliogenesis from progenitor cells and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells via Deltex1. In primary oligodendrocytes, NB-3 increases myelin-associated glycoprotein transcripts. Hence, the NB-3/Notch signaling pathway may be worthwhile a closer examination for its potential for the treatment of demyelinating diseases. Human NB-3 shares with rat NB-3 86% identity in nucleotide sequences and 90% identity in amino acid sequences. FUNCTION: Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Participates in oligodendrocytes generation by acting as a ligand of NOTCH1. Its association with NOTCH1 promotes NOTCH1 activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) and subsequent translocation to the nucleus. Involved in motor coordination. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; lipid-anchor; GPI-anchor. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain. In brain, it is preferentially expressed in the accessory olfactory bulb, layers II/III and V of the cerebral cortex, piriform cortex, anterior thalamic nuclei, locus coeruleus of the pons and mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus and in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Highly expressed after birth, reaching a maximum at the postnatal day 7, and declines thereafter in the cerebrum, whereas it increases in the cerebellum to adulthood.

Rabbit anti-Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine, epinephrine and norepinephrine. Therefore the regulation of the TH enzyme represents the central means for controlling the synthesis of these important catecholamines. FUNCTION: Plays an important role in the physiology of adrenergic neurons. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin. COFACTOR: Fe(2+) ion. ENZYME REGULATION: Phosphorylation leads to an increase in the catalytic activity. PATHWAY: Catecholamine biosynthesis; first step. SUBUNIT: Homotetramer. PTM: In vitro, phosphorylation of Ser-19 increases the rate of Ser-40 phosphorylation, which results in enzyme opening and activation. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase family. The presence of different DNA sequences at the TH locus confers susceptibility to various disorders of the brain including manic-depression and schizophrenia. Parkinson's disease is also considered a TH deficiency as low dopamine levels are a consistent neurochemical abnormality.

Rabbit anti-Parkinson disease protein 2 (Parkin) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Functions within a multiprotein E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, catalyzing the covalent attachment of ubiquitin moieties onto substrate proteins. These substrates include SYT11, CCNE1, GPR37, STUB1, a 22 kDa O-linked glycosylated isoform of SNCAIP and SEPT5. May play a more general role in the ubiquitin proteasomal pathway by participating in the removal and/or detoxification of abnormally folded or damaged protein. Loss of this ubiquitin ligase activity appears to be the mechanism underlying pathogenesis of PARK2. May protect neurons against alpha synuclein toxicity, proteasomal dysfunction, GPR37 accumulation, and kainate-induced excitotoxicity. May play a role in controlling neurotransmitter trafficking at the presynaptic terminal and in calcium-dependent exocytosis. Regulates cyclin E during neuronal apoptosis. May represent a tumor suppressor gene. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Co-localizes with STY11 in neutrites. Co-localizes with SNCAIP in brainstem Lewy bodies. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in the brain including the substantia nigra. Expressed in heart, testis and skeletal muscle. Expression is down-regulated or absent in tumor biopsies, and absent in the brain of PARK2 patients. Overexpression protects dopamine neurons from kainate-mediated apoptosis.

Rabbit anti-Myelin basic protein (MBP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the nervous tissue and functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of the stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin isolated from human and bovine nervous tissue is composed of approximately 80% lipid and 20% protein, and 30% of the protein fraction constitutes myelin basic protein (MBP). MBP is an 'intrinsically unstructured' protein with a high proportion (approximately 75%) of random coil, but postulated to have core elements of beta-sheet and alpha-helix. MBP is a major protein in CNS myelin and is expressed specifically in the nervous system. A detailed immunochemical examination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibody responses to MBP and its peptides has revealed the existence of as many as 27 antigenic determinants, many of them conformational. Topological mapping of the potential antigenic determinants onto a model of MBP secondary structure places these determinants within 11 separate regions of the molecule, including those portions that have been found to be encephalitogenic. The message for myelin basic protein is selectively translocated to the ends of the cell processes. Immunization with myelin-associated antigens including MBP significantly promotes recovery after spinal cord contusion injury in the rat model. FUNCTION: Is, with PLP, the most abundant protein component of the myelin membrane in the CNS. Has a role in both the formation and stabilization of this compact multilayer arrangement of bilayers. Each splice variant and charge isomer may have a specialized function in the assembly of an optimized, biochemically functional myelin membrane (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Myelin membrane; peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasmic side of myelin. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Found in both the central and the peripheral nervous system.

Rabbit anti-Contactin-6 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
The neural adhesion molecule Contactin-6, also known as NB-3, is a contactin/F3 subgroup member of immunoglobulin superfamily. It is expressed exclusively in the nervous system and mainly upregulated at the early postnatal stage during mouse brain development. Employing Northern blot analysis Kamei et al found that amongst different regions of the adult human nervous system cerebellum expressed highest level of NB-3 mRNA. The expression of NB-3 in the cerebellum increases until adulthood. In contrast, the expression in the cerebrum declines to a low level after postnatal day 7. NB-3 like other neural recognition molecules plays a vitally important role in axonal guidance during development, plasticity, and maintenance of synaptic connections in the adult brain. Cui et al recently showed that NB-3 acts as a novel Notch ligand to participate in oligodendrocyte generation. Furthermore, NB-3 triggers nuclear translocation of the Notch intracellular domain and promotes oligodendrogliogenesis from progenitor cells and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells via Deltex1. In primary oligodendrocytes, NB-3 increases myelin-associated glycoprotein transcripts. Hence, the NB-3/Notch signaling pathway may be worthwhile a closer examination for its potential for the treatment of demyelinating diseases. Human NB-3 shares with rat NB-3 86% identity in nucleotide sequences and 90% identity in amino acid sequences. FUNCTION: Contactins mediate cell surface interactions during nervous system development. Participates in oligodendrocytes generation by acting as a ligand of NOTCH1. Its association with NOTCH1 promotes NOTCH1 activation through the released notch intracellular domain (NICD) and subsequent translocation to the nucleus. Involved in motor coordination. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; lipid-anchor; GPI-anchor. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain. In brain, it is preferentially expressed in the accessory olfactory bulb, layers II/III and V of the cerebral cortex, piriform cortex, anterior thalamic nuclei, locus coeruleus of the pons and mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus and in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum.

BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Microglia release BDNF that may contribute to neuroinflammation and neuropathic pain. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. <br />FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. <br />DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

Rabbit anti-Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for IHC-Frozen.
Background Info:
FUNCTION: Functions as a cell surface receptor and performs physiological functions on the surface of neurons relevant to neurite growth, neuronal adhesion and axonogenesis. Involved in cell mobility and transcription regulation through protein-protein interactions. Can promote transcription activation through binding to APBB1/Tip60 and inhibit Notch signaling through interaction with Numb. Couples to apoptosis-inducing pathways such as those mediated by G(O) and JIP. Inhibits G(o) alpha ATPase activity. Acts as a kinesin I membrane receptor, mediating the axonal transport of beta-secretase and presenilin 1. May be involved in copper homeostasis/oxidative stress through copper ion reduction. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I and IV. FUNCTION: Beta-amyloid peptides are lipophilic metal chelators with metal-reducing activity. Bind transient metals such as copper, zinc and iron. Rat and mouse beta-amyloid peptides bind only weakly transient metals and have little reducing activity due to substitutions of transient metal chelating residues. Beta-APP42 may activate mononuclear phagocytes in the brain and elicit inflammatory responses. Promotes both tau aggregation and TPK II-mediated phosphorylation (By similarity). FUNCTION: The gamma-CTF peptides as well as the caspase-cleaved peptides, including C31, are potent enhancers of neuronal apoptosis. SUBUNIT: Binds, via its C-terminus, to the PID domain of several cytoplasmic proteins, including APBB family members, the APBA family, MAPK8IP1, SHC1, Numb and Dab1. Binding to Dab1 inhibits its serine phosphorylation. Also interacts with GPCR-like protein BPP, FPRL1, APPBP1, IB1, KNS2 (via its TPR domains), APPBP2 (via BaSS) and DDB1. In vitro, it binds MAPT via the MT-binding domains. Associates with microtubules in the presence of ATP and in a kinesin-dependent manner. Interacts, through a C-terminal domain, with GNAO1. Amyloid beta-42 binds CHRNA7 in hippocampal neurons. Beta-amyloid associates with HADH2. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: different isoforms in different tissues: kidney. brain. liver. hippocampus, substania nigra pars compacta and cerebellum. In the cerebellum, all the isoforms are abundantly expressed in Purkinje cells.

This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This gene product is a characteristic feature of cholinergic neurons, and changes in these neurons may explain some of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment. Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome associated with episodic apnea. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene, and some of these variants have been shown to encode more than one isoform. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Rabbit anti-Saporin Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, IHC-Frozen, ELISA.
Background Info:
Saporin is a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) of type I. This monomeric RNA N-glycosidase purified from seeds of the plant Saponaria officinalis also known as Soapwort, is capable of specific depurination of eukaryotic ribosomes thus arresting protein synthesis. No ligand has been identified in saporin hence its inability to transverse the cell membrane. Due to its toxicity and stability of the structure, saporin has proven extremely useful for construction of immunotoxins. The expected molecular weight of the purified saporin is 29.5 kDa.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor, also known as p75NTR, is a low affinity NGF receptor. It binds with equal affinity all members of the neurotrophin family including beta NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. It also binds the pro-neurotrophins. NGF receptors mediate signaling of neurotrophins for neuronal survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. These receptors are also thought to play a role in neurogenerative diseases such as Alzheimers disease. The p75NTR NGF receptor is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein (396 aa) consisting of a signal peptide (21 aa), an extracellular domain (225 aa) which contains four cysteine rich domains responsible for ligand binding, a transmembrane domain (19 aa) and a cytoplasmic domain (152 aa). It is a member of the TNF-alpha receptor family (TNR16). Recently, p75NTR has been shown to act as a receptor for many pathogens such as prions, rabies virus and amyloid beta. It also acts as a co-receptor for NOGO, mediating inhibitory signals of myelin associated protein.
Lyophilized products should be stored at 2-8°C. Following reconstitution, short-term storage at 2-8°C is recommended and longer-term storage of aliquots at -18 to -20°C. Repeated freeze thawing is not recommended.
Leucine-rich repeat serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (LRRK2-IN-1), Purified Small Molecule, suitable to Block.
Background Info:
Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2) is a member of the leucine-rich repeat kinase family. Mutations in the LRRK2 gene have been linked with late-onset autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD). A recent screening identified the analog LRRK2-IN-1 as a potent and selective inhibitor of LRRK2. This research by Deng et al (2011, Nat Chem Biol) showed that LRRK2-IN-1 suppressed LRRK2 kinase activity in vivo leading to dephosphorylation of Ser910/Ser935, loss of 14-3-3 binding and accumulation of LRRK2 within aggregrate fibrillar structures. LRRK2-IN-1, is the first selective and potent inhibitor of LRRK2. LRRK2-IN-1 inhibits both wild-type and G2019S mutant LRRK2 kinase activity with IC50 values of 13nM and 6nM respectively (Deng et al 2011, Nat Chem Biol).

Human LR3 insulin-like Growth Factor-I (LR3IGF-I) was developed by GroPep Bioreagents ( www.gropep.com ) specifically for supplementation of mammalian cell culture to support the survival and proliferation of cells. It is engineered to have a higher biological potency than native IGF-I or IGF-II and has several advantages over recombinant insulin. Supplementation of cell cultures with LR3IGF-I at a much lower concentration results in equivalent or better productivity than supplementation with standard concentrations of insulin. LR3IGF-I is better able to stimulate the type I IGF receptor and thus induce a higher level of activation of intracellular signalling molecules, which are responsible for promoting cell survival by inhibition of apoptosis. This LR3IGF-I Rapid ELISA kit combines GroPep's many years of expertise in the field of IGF research and Biosensis' newly established Rapid ELISA platform. This collaboration has resulted in the new LR3IGF-I Rapid ELISA kit, which provides for the sensitive, specific and reliable quantification of LR3IGF-I protein in less than 3 hours! The ELISA kit consists of a complete set of reagents and pre-coated plate to allow immediate assay of LR3IGF-I in culture media. Included in the kit are mouse monoclonal anti- LR3IGF-I capture antibody pre-coated onto an ELISA plate, standard LR3IGF-I protein, a biotinylated anti- LR3IGF-I detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of LR3IGF-I present in samples and the supplied protein standard. This LR3IGF-I Rapid ELISA kit has been developed, optimized and validated to quantify LR3IGF-I protein in cell culture medium. It is likely to be used to measure LR3IGF-I in media and during downstream processing of media following a production cycle and is not intended for other use. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
LR3IGF-I is an 83 amino acid analogue of IGF-I comprising the complete human IGF-I sequence with the substitution of an Arginine for the Glutamine at position 3, plus a 13 amino acid extension peptide at the N-terminus.

This Multi-Neurotrophin Screening kit uses the same antibodies as in the individual Rapid ELISA kits. Each kit has been tested for cross-reactivity with other closely related neurotrophins and no cross-reactivity has been observed at 25 ng/mL of each neurotrophin tested. The antibodies used in this kit detect the human and rat form of each neurotrophin, but with varying efficiency depending on the target protein.
The Biosensis GDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of GDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, and serum only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular rat serum samples. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-GDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-GDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of GDNF present in samples and protein standards. This GDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant rat GDNF standard and is therefore designed to measure the rat form of GDNF. Note that the antibodies used in this kit cross-react with mouse, human and guinea pig GDNF. This kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDNF subfamily.

The Biosensis Rat Mature NGF/proNGF Combo Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit combines individual, but complementary ELISA kits for the two most important NGF isoforms: Mature NGF (BEK-2214) and full-length proNGF (BEK-2236). Both kits are sandwich ELISAs, useful for the quantification of mature NGF and proNGF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and tissue homogenates only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the most current kit protocols for BEK-2214 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA) and BEK-2236 (proNGF Rapid TM ELISA), for specific use instructions for each substrate application. The Mature NGF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-NGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The proNGF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature NGF or proNGF present in samples and protein standards. A NGF and proNGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. The Mature NGF ELISA kit employs a high-quality recombinant rat NGF protein as standard, and thus the Mature NGF/proNGF Combo kit is designed to measure the rat NGF isoforms. However, the rat mature NGF ELISA kit will cross-react with mouse and human mature NGF protein. The proNGF ELISA kit contains a recombinant mouse proNGF standard expressed in E.coli. Mouse proNGF and rat proNGF share 96% sequence homology, and internal validation data has demonstrated the ability of the proNGF ELISA to detect proNGF in rat PC12 cell lysates and rat brain tissue homogenate. However, the proNGF ELISA shows only little cross-reactivity (20%) with human proNGF. This Combo kit is capable of distinguishing and independently quantifying the mature NGF and full-length NGF isoforms. Internal validation data demonstrates that the mature NGF ELISA assay antibodies preferentially detect the mature form of NGF. Cross-reaction of full-length proNGF was This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is synthesized as a precursor (proNGF) which may be released and have physiological functions to cause cell death. It binds neurotrophin receptor p75 and sortilin and may also be important for the development of nervous system. proNGF is synthesized in target tissues and glia, transported retrogradely and may be released.

The biosensis Multi-Neurotrophin Rapid TM Screening ELISA kit has been designed to allow rapid screening and quantification of human NGF, BDNF, NT3 and NT4/5 in cell culture supernatants, lysates, serum, plasma (EDTA and citrate) and brain extracts only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular human serum and plasma samples. This two-plate kit consists of four sets of 6 strips for each Neurotrophin, allowing for the assay of 16 samples per Neurotrophin tested and a full range of standards, all run in duplicate. It provides the identical sensitivities and ranges that are achieved in the complete, individual ELISA kits, thus allowing easy progression into the larger individual assay sizes when needed. The Multi-Neurotrophin Rapid TM Screening ELISA kit therefore presents a cost effective way to quickly screen multiple samples, which can then be published or used prior to a more extensive analysis with the individual kits. The kit comes complete with all detection reagents and is ready to use. Individual coated strips are provided and each set of standards and detection antibodies are color-coded. NOTE: For research use only. Not for diagnostic and clinical purposes.

This Multi-Neurotrophin Screening kit uses the same antibodies as in the individual Rapid ELISA kits. Each kit has been tested for cross-reactivity with other closely related neurotrophins and no cross-reactivity has been observed at 25 ng/mL of each neurotrophin tested. The antibodies used in this kit detect the mouse and rat form of each neurotrophin, but with varying efficiency depending on the target protein.
The Biosensis proNGF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of full-length proNGF protein in less than 4 hours in human serum, heparin-plasma, cell supernatants and cell lysates only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-proNGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proNGF present in samples and protein standards. A human proNGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This proNGF ELISA kit contains a recombinant human proNGF standard expressed in E.coli. This ELISA kit does not cross-react with the mouse form of proNGF, and due to sequence homology of mouse and rat proNGF is not expected to detect rat proNGF. The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the pro-domain of the protein and therefore recognize proNGF and the pro-domain peptide, but do not cross-react with mature NGF! Note that accurate proNGF quantification in human serum requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-003-1000 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately . This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of proNGF standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

The Biosensis proNGF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of full-length proNGF protein in less than 4 hours in human serum, heparin-plasma, cell supernatants and cell lysates only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-proNGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proNGF present in samples and protein standards. A human proNGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This proNGF ELISA kit contains a recombinant human proNGF standard expressed in E.coli. This ELISA kit does not cross-react with the mouse form of proNGF, and due to sequence homology of mouse and rat proNGF is not expected to detect rat proNGF. The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the pro-domain of the protein and therefore recognize proNGF and the pro-domain peptide, but do not cross-react with mature NGF! Note that accurate proNGF quantification in human serum requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-003-1000 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately . This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of proNGF standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:

The Biosensis Mouse Mature NGF/proNGF Combo Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit combines individual, but complementary ELISA kits for the two most important NGF isoforms: Mature NGF (BEK-2213) and full-length proNGF (BEK-2236). Both kits are sandwich ELISAs, useful for the quantification of mature NGF and proNGF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and tissue homogenates only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Researchers have used both kits for NGF/proNGF measurement in mouse urine, however, Biosensis has not yet internally validated the use of urine in both ELISA kits. End-users are strongly advised to perform essential validation experiments to assure accurate NGF/proNGF quantification in mouse urine. Please refer to the most current kit protocols for BEK-2213 (Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA) and BEK-2236 (proNGF Rapid TM ELISA), for specific use instructions for each substrate application. The Mature NGF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-NGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The proNGF ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-proNGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature NGF or proNGF present in samples and protein standards. A NGF and proNGF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. The Mature NGF ELISA kit employs a native mouse NGF protein as standard, purified from mouse submaxillary glands according to published procedures. The calibrator standard reflects the native state of mouse NGF protein and has been chosen to give most accurate quantification of natural NGF protein levels in mouse samples. The proNGF ELISA kit contains a recombinant mouse proNGF standard expressed in E.coli. Note that this Mature NGF/proNGF Combo kit is designed to measure the mouse protein forms, although due to sequence homology the Mature NGF ELISA kit will detect human and rat mature NGF. The proNGF ELISA kit cross-reacts with rat proNGF due to high degree of homology (96%) with mouse proNGF based on amino acid sequence, and the ability of this kit in detecting proNGF in rat PC12 cell lysates and rat brain tissue homogenate. However, the proNGF ELISA shows only little cross-reactivity (20%) with human proNGF. This Combo kit is capable of distinguishing and independently quantifying the mature NGF and full-length NGF isoforms. Internal validation data demonstrates This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Biosensis is proud to offer the first commercially available ApoE/?-amyloid (ApoE/A?) complex ELISA kit. As a result of extensive collaboration with Dr. LaDu's laboratory at UIC and validation by Biosensis, this ELISA can be used to accurately and consistently measure the extent of ApoE/A? complex in tissue extracts and other samples. The Biosensis ApoE/A? Complex ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA and consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-A? capture antibody, a highly validated ApoE/A? complex standard that is pre-formed, lyophilized and ready for reconstitution, a biotinylated ApoE detection antibody, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin and detection reagent. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the level of ApoE/A? complex present in samples and protein standards. Importantly, a well-characterized and unique ApoE/A? complex is included as a standard. This complex is pre-formed and lyophilized, requiring only reconstitution with assay diluent prior to use. In order to assess non-specific ApoE protein binding, each kit includes additional plates pre-coated with control antibody. The purpose of this kit is the in vitro qualitative measurement of ApoE/A? complexes in brain extracts and CSF samples from both transgenic mice and humans or primates, relative to a known ApoE/A? complex standard, only if used as directed. This kit has not been tested for other sample applications. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

The Biosensis GDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of GDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, and guinea pig serum only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated anti-GDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-GDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of GDNF present in samples and protein standards. This GDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human GDNF standard obtained from the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) and is therefore designed to accurately measure the human form of GDNF. Note that the antibodies used in this kit cross-react with guinea pig, rat and mouse GDNF. Guinea pig GDNF has been quantified in serum using the Human GDNF Rapid TM ELISA kit, since guinea pig GDNF protein shares closest amino acid sequence homology with human GDNF.

It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
GDNF is a glycosylated, disulfide-bonded homodimer molecule. It was first discovered as a potent survival factor for midbrain dopaminergic neurons and was then shown to rescue these neurons in animal models of Parkinson's disease. GDNF is about 100 times more efficient survival factor for spinal motor neurons than the neurotrophins. FUNCTION: Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms produced by alternative splicing. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF may be a cause of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). In association with mutations of RET gene, defects in GDNF may be involved in Hirschsprung disease. This genetic disorder of neural crest development is characterized by the absence of intramural ganglion cells in the hindgut, often resulting in intestinal obstruction. DISEASE: Defects in GDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the TGF-beta family. GDNF subfamily.

The Biosensis NT3 Rapid TM enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the specific, fast and reliable quantification of NT3 in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants and human plasma (EDTA and citrate) only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular human plasma. Accurate quantification of NT3 in human plasma requires a heterophilic antibody (HA) blocker which can be purchased separately ( BL-004-500 ). This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated polyclonal anti-NT3 capture antibody, a biotinylated monoclonal anti-NT3 detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product, which is directly proportional to the concentration of NT3 present in samples and protein standards. This NT3 Rapid TM ELISA kit employs a recombinant human NT3 standard. NT3 is highly conserved and nearly identical in many species. The assay's capture and detection antibodies detect NT3 from other species including mouse, rat and monkey, thus it is expected that this NT3 Rapid TM ELISA will also react with those species and possibly more because of the conversation of the immunogen used. The antibodies used in this kit bind to epitopes within the mature domain of NT3. Thus, this ELISA kit may detect the full-length pro-form of NT3. This kit has not been tested for other applications. Sufficient amount of NT3 standard is supplied to allow for spike- and recovery experiments in order to validate this ELISA assay for other sample matrices if required. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
NT3 is understood to be important in promote the survival of visceral and proprioceptive sensory neurons. It is a secreted protein that belongs to the NGF-beta family and is found in brain and peripheral tissues.

Background Info:
The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor (NGFR), also known as p75 neurotrophin receptor (p75NTR; TNFRS16; CD271) is a common receptor for the neurotrophins NGF, BDNF, NT-3 and NT-4/5. In neurons, p75NTR mediates a variety of physiological functions including survival, apoptosis, neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. A potential pathological role for p75NTR has become evident in recent years. Altered p75NTR expression levels are implicated in degeneration of spinal motor neurons in human and mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Importantly, the extracellular domain of p75NTR (p75ECD) is shed from the cell membrane and excreted in urine. Recent findings further suggest that p75ECD could be an early biomarker for ALS in humans, as significantly elevated p75ECD levels are found in urine of ALS patients as compared to healthy controls.

Internal Biosensis validation suggests that the use of the human standard provided in this kit will provide estimates that are identical, or close, to the actual levels of rat and mouse proBDNF present in rodent samples. Note that accurate proBDNF quantification in human serum and citrate-plasma requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-004-500 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately . This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

The Biosensis proBDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the specific, fast and reliable quantification of proBDNF in less than 4 hours in cell culture supernatants, cell lysates, serum, citrate-plasma and tissue extracts only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular human blood samples. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated polyclonal anti-proBDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-matureBDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of proBDNF present in samples and protein standards. A proBDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This proBDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant, cleavage-resistant human proBDNF standard produced by Biosensis and validated against externally available proBDNF proteins. Due to a high degree of amino acid sequence homology, mouse and rat proBDNF can be quantified and expressed as human proBDNF equivalents. Internal Biosensis validation suggests that the use of the human standard provided in this kit will provide estimates that are identical, or close, to the actual levels of rat and mouse proBDNF present in rodent samples. Note that accurate proBDNF quantification in human serum and citrate-plasma requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-004-500 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately . This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.
Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

Background Info:
Alpha synuclein is an abundant 140 amino acid neuronal protein, expressed primarily at presynaptic terminals in the central nervous system. Alpha synuclein has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases. A point mutation in the gene coding for the alpha-synuclein protein was the first discovery linking this protein to a rare familial form of Parkinson's disease (PD). Subsequently, other mutations in the alpha-synuclein gene have been identified in familial PD. The aggregated proteinaceous inclusions called Lewy bodies found in PD and cortical Lewy body dementia (LBD) were discovered to be predominantly alpha-synuclein. Aberrant aggregation of alpha-synuclein has been detected in an increasing number of neurodegenerative diseases, collectively known as synucleopathies. Alpha-synuclein exists physiologically in both soluble and membrane-bound states, in unstructured and alpha-helical conformations, respectively. The physiological function of alpha-synuclein appears to require its translocation between these subcellular compartments and interconversion between the 2 conformations. Abnormal processing of alpha-synuclein is predicted to lead to pathological changes in its binding properties and function.

The oligomeric form of Amyloid Beta peptide (A?, 1-42) has been closely linked to Alzheimer's Disease. Several ELISAs targeting A? have been developed; however, these ELISAs are known to cross-react with Amyloid Beta precursor protein (APP) and are poorly characterized against monomeric and oligomeric forms of the peptide. The Biosensis MOAB-2 antibody, developed by LaDu and co-workers (Youmans K. et al. , 2012) , has been shown to specifically detect A?, but not the precursor molecule APP. When utilized in ELISAs, the oligomeric form of A? peptide (o-A?) can be assayed independently of the other forms of the molecule when assayed with the MOAB-2 monoclonal antibody. The Biosensis oligomeric A? ELISA kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the preferential quantification of oligomeric A? peptides. This kit is exclusive to Biosensis and consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-A? capture antibody (MOAB-2), a biotinylated MOAB-2 detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of o-A? present in samples and protein standards. The purpose of this kit is the in vitro qualitative measurement of oligomeric A? peptide levels in brain extracts and CSF samples from both transgenic mice and humans relative to a known o-A? standard. The inclusion of a highly validated oligomeric standard results in a unique, ready-to-use ELISA kit. This kit has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

The Biosensis NGF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of rat NGF in less than 3 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, and brain extracts only if used as directed. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular serum samples. This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-NGF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of NGF present in samples and protein standards. This NGF ELISA kit is designed to measure rat NGF and thus employs a recombinant rat NGF protein. Due to a high degree of NGF sequence homology, the antibodies used in this kit will also detect NGF from other species including human and mouse! Guinea pig NGF has been quantified in serum using this ELISA kit using rat NGF protein as calibrator, as it shows largest sequence homology based on amino acid sequence among rodent and human NGF proteins. The assay antibodies preferentially detect the mature form of NGF, as shown by data comparing mature mouse NGF and mouse proNGF in the Mouse NGF ELISA kit (BEK-2213). Cross-reaction of full-length proNGF was This kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Due to a high degree of NGF sequence homology, the antibodies used in this kit will also detect NGF from numerous other species including mouse and rat! The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the mature domain of the protein and therefore can recognize both the pro- and the mature form of NGF. However, internal validation data demonstrates Note that accurate NGF quantification in human citrate-plasma requires the addition of Heterophilic Antibody Blocker BL-005-500 provided in the kit, and available for purchase separately . This kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used in diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Cross Reactivity:
The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the mature domain of the protein and therefore can recognize both the pro- and the mature form of NGF. However, human proNGF protein shows <0.1% cross-reactivity (determined at 25 ng/mL, diluted in assay buffer), suggesting the preferential quantification of mature NGF over full-length human proNGF.<br><br> This NGF ELISA does not cross-react with brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) tested at 25 ng/mL. Due to a high degree of NGF sequence homology, the antibodies used in this kit will also detect mature NGF from numerous other species including mouse and rat!
The Biosensis CE Marked BDNF Rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the preferential quantification of mature BDNF in less than 3 hours. This kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of BDNF present in samples and protein standards. This BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org ). This kit is suitable to measure mature BDNF in human serum and citrate-treated plasma samples only. The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the mature domain of the protein and therefore recognize the mature as well as the pro-form of BDNF.

This research-use-only ELISA kit can be used for human and animal research purposes worldwide, and has been validated for a wider range of sample types and species.
Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

The Biosensis Mature BDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of mature BDNF in less than 3 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (citrate and EDTA), pig serum, cell lysates, brain extracts, human milk and Sheep CSF only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples, human milk and CSF. Note that accurate quantification of BDNF in human milk requires a secretory IgA (sIgA) blocker which can be purchased separately ( BL-001-1250 ). For measurement of mature BDNF in CSF samples, please contact us at sales@biosensis.com . This ELISA kit has been tested in independent research laboratories and found to achieve highest reproducibility with intra- and inter-assay CVs as low as 1% and 5%, respectively (Polacchini et al., 2015). This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-mature BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature BDNF present in samples and protein standards. A BDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This Mature BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human mature BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org ). The amino acid sequence of mature BDNF is identical for human, mouse, rat and a number of other species. This kit therefore is suitable to measure mature BDNF in all these species and uses the same antibodies and antigen. Extensive validation has demonstrated that the Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA shows only minimal cross-reactivity with proBDNF. Please refer to our Technical Note #5 for further details on ELISA assay validation for BDNF isoform detection and quanification. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures.

Typical limit of detection (LOD) for BDNF is less than 2 pg/mL, determined as 150% of the blank value.
Cross Reactivity:
No cross-reactivity is observed for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) tested at 25 ng/mL in assay buffer. The reactivity of full-length proBDNF (0.125 ng/mL - 5 ng/mL) was determined in six independent assays using proBDNF proteins from four different sources (mammalian and bacterial, wild-type and mutated). The average cross-reactivity of proBDNF was found to be 5.3% +/- 0.5% in weight (w/v) concentration, or 12.1% +/- 1.2% in molar concentration (mean +/- SEM). Additional proBDNF cross-reactivity experiments were conducted as summarized in our <a class="newA" target="_blank" href="https://www.biosensis.com/documents/enhancedinfo/Technical-Note-5-Mature-BDNF-Isoform-Detection-and-Quantification-by-ELISA.pdf">Technical Note #5</a>.
The Biosensis CE Marked BDNF Rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the preferential quantification of mature BDNF in less than 3 hours. This kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a colored reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of BDNF present in samples and protein standards. This BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org ). This kit is suitable to measure mature BDNF in human serum and citrate-treated plasma samples only. The antibodies used in this ELISA kit bind epitopes within the mature domain of the protein and therefore recognize the mature as well as the pro-form of BDNF. However, cross-reactivity to the full-length proBDNF protein is low. This CE Marked BDNF Rapid ELISA [Cat. No. BEK-2211-CE] Kit is approved for in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications in the European Economic Area (EEA). It has been developed by Biosensis and is manufactured by Calbiotech Inc.

For research on human blood, customers MUST order the catalog number BEK-2211 . This research-use-only ELISA kit can be used for human and animal research purposes worldwide, and has been validated for a wider range of sample types and species.
Background Info:
BDNF belongs to the neurotrophin family and regulates the survival and differentiation of neurons during development. The alterations in BDNF expression induced by various kinds of brain insult including stress, ischemia, seizure activity and hypoglycemia, may contribute to some pathologies such as depression, epilepsy, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. FUNCTION: Promotes the survival of neuronal populations that are all located either in the central nervous system or directly connected to it. Major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. SUBUNIT: Monomers and homodimers. Binds to NTRK2/TRKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. Post Translation Modification (PTM): The propeptide is N-glycosylated and glycosulfated. PTM: Converted into mature BDNF by plasmin (PLG) (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in BDNF are a cause of congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS); also known as congenital failure of autonomic control or Ondine curse. CCHS is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal control of respiration in the absence of neuromuscular or lung disease, or an identifiable brain stem lesion. A deficiency in autonomic control of respiration results in inadequate or negligible ventilatory and arousal responses to hypercapnia and hypoxemia. CCHS is frequently complicated with neurocristopathies such as Hirschsprung disease that occurs in about 16% of CCHS cases. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family.

The Biosensis Mature BDNF Rapid TM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Kit is a sandwich ELISA that allows the quantification of mature BDNF in less than 3 hours in cell culture supernatants, serum, plasma (citrate and EDTA), pig serum, cell lysates, brain extracts, human milk and Sheep CSF only if used as directed, with a simplified protocol and no loss of sensitivity or specificity. Please refer to the kit protocol for specific use instructions for each substrate application, in particular blood samples, human milk and CSF. Note that accurate quantification of BDNF in human milk requires a secretory IgA (sIgA) blocker which can be purchased separately ( BL-001-1250 ). For measurement of mature BDNF in CSF samples, please contact us at sales@biosensis.com . This ELISA kit has been tested in independent research laboratories and found to achieve highest reproducibility with intra- and inter-assay CVs as low as 1% and 5%, respectively (Polacchini et al., 2015). This ELISA kit consists of a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-mature BDNF capture antibody, a biotinylated anti-mature BDNF detection antibody and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated streptavidin. The addition of a substrate (3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine, TMB) yields a coloured reaction product which is directly proportional to the concentration of mature BDNF present in samples and protein standards. A BDNF positive control (QC sample) is provided to assure consistent assay performance. This Mature BDNF ELISA kit employs a recombinant human mature BDNF standard approved by the World Health Organization (WHO, www.nibsc.org ). The amino acid sequence of mature BDNF is identical for human, mouse, rat and a number of other species. This kit therefore is suitable to measure mature BDNF in all these species and uses the same antibodies and antigen. Extensive validation has demonstrated that the Mature BDNF Rapid TM ELISA shows only minimal cross-reactivity with proBDNF. Please refer to our Technical Note #5 for further details on ELISA assay validation for BDNF isoform detection and quanification. This ELISA kit has not been tested for other applications. It has been configured for research use only and is not to be used for diagnostic or clinical procedures. For in-vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications in the European Economic Area (EEA), we refer to the CE Marked BDNF ELISA kit (BEK-2211-CE) .

Typical limit of detection (LOD) for BDNF is less than 2 pg/mL, determined as 150% of the blank value.
Cross Reactivity:
No cross-reactivity is observed for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), NT-4/5, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF165) tested at 25 ng/mL in assay buffer. The reactivity of full-length proBDNF (0.125 ng/mL - 5 ng/mL) was determined in six independent assays using proBDNF proteins from four different sources (mammalian and bacterial, wild-type and mutated). The average cross-reactivity of proBDNF was found to be 5.3% +/- 0.5% in weight (w/v) concentration, or 12.1% +/- 1.2% in molar concentration (mean +/- SEM). Additional proBDNF cross-reactivity experiments were conducted as summarized in our <a class="newA" target="_blank" href="https://www.biosensis.com/documents/enhancedinfo/Technical-Note-5-Mature-BDNF-Isoform-Detection-and-Quantification-by-ELISA.pdf">Technical Note #5</a>.
Detergents typically present in cell lysis buffers are thought to disrupt organelles and compartments and increase the exposure of soluble phospho-proteins to phosphatases and proteases thereby resulting in uncontrolled dephosphorylation and proteolysis. Phospho-Sure RTD Neuronal extraction buffer is optimized for the extraction of phosphorylated proteins from neuronal and other soft tissues types. The buffer extracts the phosphoproteins in a native state without the use of harsh detergents or oxidizers, and it is specially formulated to help maintain phosphoproteins and protect them from degradation better than traditional detergent based extraction buffers.

Apop's suite of CalRexin (TM) imaging reagents have been designed for imaging stressed, dying and apoptotic cells. They are monoclonal antibody fluorophore conjugates that target an epitope in the extracellular domain of the human calcitonin receptor (CT receptor), a novel marker of cell stress/autophagy and pre-apoptotic cell stress/apoptosis. They recognise and bind an epitope that is common to both C1a and C1b isoforms of the human calcitonin receptor, a membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains that is coupled to G protein messenger systems. The calcitonin receptor has been identified in a broad range of tissues throughout the life cycle of an organism as well as in diseased, stressed and damaged tissues. CalRexin (TM):fluorophore is accumulated into live cells and is designed for live cell assays.
Advantages: Simple to use High sensitivity, detect sub-populations in FACS of dying cells Enhanced stability (> 1 yr) Multiple applications (FACS, Operetta, confocal microscopy) Calcium independence for assays No false positives vs Annexin

Apop's suite of CalRexin (TM) imaging reagents have been designed for imaging stressed, dying and apoptotic cells. They are monoclonal antibody fluorophore conjugates that target an epitope in the extracellular domain of the human calcitonin receptor (CT receptor), a novel marker of cell stress/autophagy and pre-apoptotic cell stress/apoptosis. They recognise and bind an epitope that is common to both C1a and C1b isoforms of the human calcitonin receptor, a membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains that is coupled to G protein messenger systems. The calcitonin receptor has been identified in a broad range of tissues throughout the life cycle of an organism as well as in diseased, stressed and damaged tissues. CalRexin (TM):fluorophore is accumulated into live cells and is designed for live cell assays.
Advantages: Simple to use High sensitivity, detect sub-populations in FACS of dying cells Enhanced stability (> 1 yr) Multiple applications (FACS, Operetta, confocal microscopy) Calcium independence for assays No false positives vs Annexin

Protein or membrane sample should be treated at 70 C for 10 min before loading on the gel.Diluted antibody solution can be used 2 to 3 times within one month if it contains 0.1 % sodium azide as preservative and is stored at -20 °C to -80 C.Triton X-100 should not be included in the protein extraction buffer, when cell organelles or membrane proteins must be separated from soluble proteins. Because, Triton X breaks membrane structure and solubilizes most membranes proteins. Furthermore, it should be noted that Triton X at high concentrations binds SDS and mask the detergent effect of SDS for SDS-PAGE. Also, micelles of Triton X behave as a large complex with molecular mass of 90 kDa at high concentrations in SDS-PAGE.

ELF4 (Early flowering 4) is the component of the central CCA1/LHY-TOC1 negative feedback loop in the circadian clock that promotes clock accuracy and is required for sustained rhythms in the absence of daily light/dark cycles. Increases ELF3 nuclear distribution and localization in nuclear bodies. ELF4 is necessary for light-induced expression of both CCA1 and LHY and mediates both entrainment to an environmental cycle and circadian rhythm sustainability under constant conditions. Controls flowering time. Alternative name: Protein ARRHYTHMIC 44.

UVR8 (Ultraviolet-B receptor UVR8) is a signaling component that acts as UV-B photoreceptor and plays a key role in establishing UV-protective responses in plants. Upon UV-B irradiation, UVR8 undergoes an immediate switch from homodimer to monomer, accumulates in the nucleus, interacts with the photomorphogenic repressor COP1 and regulates the expression of the transcription factor HY5 by associating with chromatin (through histone H2B binding) in the HY5 promoter region. Involved in controlling aspects of leaf growth and morphogenesis in response to UV-B, is required for normal progression of endocycle and has a regulatory role in stomatal differentiation as well as is required for plant circadian clock response to photomorphogenic UV-B light. Promotes photosynthetic efficiency at elevated levels of UV-B. Plays a role in mediating the effects of UV-B radiation on pathogen resistance by controlling the expression of the sinapate biosynthetic pathway. Alternative names: RCC1 domain-containing protein UVR8,Protein UV-B RESISTANCE 8.

Dendra2 is an improved version of green-to-red photo switchable protein Dendra, from an octocoral (Dendronephthya) and compared to it, Dendra2 exhibits brighter fluorescence before and after photoswitching. Excitation maximum of Dendra2 is 490 nm before and 553 nm after photoactivation, and its emission maximum is 507 nm before and 573 nm after photoactivation. Activating light for Dendra2 is UV/violet to blue. Nonactivated Dendra2 spectral characteristics are similar to EGFP, and this green fluorescence can be detected at low light intensities of blue light. At high intensities of the same blue light (or of UV/violet light) Dendra2 is photoactivated and gets emission characteristics similar to TRITC.

EGFP is an Energy-transfer acceptor. Its role is to transduce the blue chemiluminescence of the protein aequorin into green fluorescent light by energy transfer. Fluoresces in vivo upon receiving energy from the Ca(2+)-activated photoprotein aequorin. Contains a chromophore consisting of modified amino acid residues. The chromophore is formed by autocatalytic backbone condensation between Xaa-N and Gly-(N+2), and oxidation of Tyr-(N+1) to didehydrotyrosine. Maturation of the chromophore requires nothing other than molecular oxygen.

The Alzheimer amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a transmembrane protein whose abnormal processing is associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. APP695 lacking the protease inhibitor domain is the predominant form in neuronal tissues. APP695 is cleaved by caspases into the 664-residue amino (N)-terminal fragment that lacks the carboxyl C-terminal 31-residues (APP delataC31) and the 31-residues C-terminal fragment (APP-C31). APP delta C31 potentially plays pathophysiological roles in neuronal death.

Caspases are a family of cysteine proteases which play essential roles in apoptosis. Among them, Caspase 3 is a frequently activated death protease, catalyzing the specific cleavage of many key cellular proteins. Caspase 3 is synthesized as an inactive 32 kDa pro-enzyme which undergo proteolytic processing in response to apoptotic stimulation to produce the active form which consists of the p20/p17, and p12 subunits. Caspase 3 is the predominant caspase involved in the cleavage of Alzheimer amyloid precursor protein (APP), which is associated with neuronal death in Alzheimer ‘s disease. An antibody (named ACP3) against activated caspase 3 was raised in rabbit. This antibody recognizes the active form of human caspase 3, p20/p17 subunit but does not recognize the proenzyme p32.

Glyoxalase I (GLO1) is an enzyme that plays a role in the detoxification of methylglyoxal (MG), a side-product of glycolysis, via condensation with glutathione to produce S-lactoyl-glutathione. GLO1 is a zinc metalloenzyme whose crystal structure has been solved. The bacterial and yeast enzymes are monomeric while the mammalian one is homodimeric and its sequence is well conserved. GLO1 is found over-expressed in some tumors. GLO1 has also been suggested to be involved in anxiety diseases, autism, and Alzheimer’s disease.

DNA methylation is a type of chemical modification of DNA that can be inherited and subsequently removed without changing the original DNA sequence. Therefore it is part of the epigenetic code and is also the most well characterized epigenetic mechanism. DNA methylation results in addition of a methyl group to DNA — for example, to the number 5 carbon of the cytosine pyrimidine ring — which involves reduction in gene expression. In adult somatic tissues, DNA methylation typically occurs in a CpG dinucleotide context; non-CpG methylation is prevalent in embryonic stem cells.
