General description

Parvalbumin is a calcium binding albumin protein. It has three EF hand motifs and is structurally related to calmodulin and troponin C. Parvalbumin is localised in fast-contracting muscles, where its levels are highest, and in the brain and some endocrine tissues. Parvalbumin is present in GABAergic interneurons in the nervous system, predominantly expressed by chandelier and basket cells in the cortex.

Specificity

Parvalbumin. The antibody will react with parvalbumin from brain and muscle. By immunoblot it recognizes a protein of 12 kDa. The antibody is directed against an epitope at the first Ca+2-binding site and specifically stains the Ca+2 -bound form of parvalbumin.

Immunogen

Parvalbumin purified from frog muscle

Application

Anti-Parvalbumin Antibody is an antibody against Parvalbumin for use in IC, IH(P) & WB.
Immunohistochemistry:
A previous lot was used by indirect immunoperoxidase at 1:1,000-1:2,000 dilution. The antibody works on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections of rat cerebellum from a previous lot. Fixation does not appear to affect MAB1572’s ability to detect parvalbumin.

Immunocytochemistry:
A previous lot of this antibody was used on cultured neurons.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
