catalog number :
MBS588220
products full name :
Alpha-Tubulin Cleaved By Caspase-6 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody
products short name :
[Alpha-Tubulin Cleaved By Caspase-6]
products name syn :
[a-Tubulin cleaved by casp 6]
reactivity :
Bovine, Mouse, Human
specificity :
The antibody recognizes the sequence (EEVGVD) in tubulin protein. It is specific for Caspase 6 cleaved a-Tubulin. The antibody was tested in IHC and western blots of samples with Alzheimer disease (AD) (Bovine brain sample, human samples, cells lines, mice hippocampus and whole brains). When tested in null mice with IHC and WB, no immunoreactivity was observed.
storage stability :
Lyophilized antibodies can be kept at 4°C for up to 3 months and should be kept at -20°C for long-term storage (2 years). To avoid freeze-thaw cycles, reconstituted antibodies should be aliquoted before freezing for long-term (1 year) storage (-80°C) or kept at 4°C for short-term usage (2 months). For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made with the assay buffer. After the maximum long-term storage period (2 years lyophilized or 1 year reconst ituted) antibodies should be tested in your assay with a standard sample to verify if you have noticed any decrease in their efficacy.
tested application :
Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blot (WB)
app notes :
If reconstituted with deionized water in 50 ul: WB 1:1000; IHC 1:1000. Optimal dilution has to be determined by the user.
other info1 :
Preservative: None. Target: Tubulin cleaved by caspase-6. Immunogen: EEVGVD peptide
products description :
Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules. Microtubules are assembled from dimers of a-and p-tubulin. a-Tubulin cleaved by caspase-6 can be found in neurons, neurofibrillary tangles, neutrophil threads, and neuritic plaques in Alzheimer disease. a-Tubulin has been found to associate with the axonal microtubule-associated protein Tau, indicating that the cleavage of the functional a-Tubulin C-terminal domain by caspase-6 could alter the state of microtubules in neurons.
