Beschreibung

General description

Non-erythroid Spectrin, also known as Fodrin, plays a role in stabilizing membrane structures, maintaining cell shape and linking the cytoskeleton to plasma membranes or intracellular vesicles. As one of the primary targets cleaved by activated caspases during apoptosis, the full-length ~240 kDa protein can be cleaved to yield an N-terminal product of ~150 kDa, and C-terminal products of ~120 and ~35 kDa.

~240 kDa full length product, ~150 kDa N-terminal cleaved product and ~120 kDa C-terminal product may be seen in varing amounts in lysates, depending on condition. The smaller sizes represent break down products seen during apoptosis.

Immunogen

Chicken red blood cell membranes purified by hypotonic lysis and mechanical enucleation.

Application

Immunohistochemistry (IFA):
A 1:200-1:400 dilution of a previous lot was used in immunohistochemistry.
Does not work on paraffin sections.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Chromatin Immunopreciptiation:
A previous lot of this antibody was used to immunoprecipitate Spectrin Alpha from chromatin-associated protein extracts derived from normal human, HeLa, FA-A, and transduced FA-A cells (McMahon, L.W., et al. (1999). J. Biological Chem. 274:32904-32908).

Anti-Spectrin alpha chain (nonerythroid) Antibody, clone AA6 is an antibody against Spectrin alpha chain (nonerythroid) for use in IH, IP, WB, ChIP.
