Aliquot and store at -20 degree C. Minimize freezing and thawing.
tested application :
Peptide ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB)
app notes :
Western Blot: Approx 70kDa band observed in Rat Brain lysates (calculated MW of 70.0kDa according to Human NP_000735.1and of 70.2kDa according to Rat NP_077330.1). Recommended concentration: 1-3ug/ml.
An additional band of unknown identity was also consistently observed at 22kDa. This band was successfully blocked by incubation with the immunising peptide. ~75kDa confirmed in both human and rat tissues as the glycoprotein by an anonymous customer. Peptide ELISA: antibody detection limit dilution 1:64000.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which belongs to a superfamily of ligand-gated ion channels that play a role in fast signal transmission at synapses. These pentameric receptors can bind acetylcholine, which causes an extensive change in conformation that leads to the opening of an ion-conducting channel across the plasma membrane. This protein is an integral membrane receptor subunit that can interact with either nAChR beta-2 or nAChR beta-4 to form a functional receptor. Mutations in this gene cause nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy type 1. Polymorphisms in this gene that provide protection against nicotine addiction have been described. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]
