Gene Information

Specificity

Recognizes a 1B subunit (both LMW and HMW forms) of voltage-gated calcium channel. Does not cross react with any other calcium channel antigens tested so far.

SPECIES REACTIVITIES: It is expected that the antibody will also work on mouse due to sequence homology (15/17). Other species have not been tested.

Immunogen

Purified peptide CNB1 from 851-867 of alpha 1B subunit of rat brain voltage-gated calcium channel (Accession Q02294; Westenbroek et al. 1992) containing N-terminal lysine and tyrosine, conjugated to KLH with gluteraldehyde (Harlow & Lane 1988).

Application

Detect Cav2.2 using this Anti-Cav2.2 Antibody validated for use in IC, IP & WB.
In preparing full-length protein samples for Western blot or immunoprecipitation, the procedures should be performed at 4°C, with the following protease inhibitor mixture: pepstatin A (1 μg/mL), leupeptin (1 μg/mL), aprotinin (1 μg/mL), Pefabloc SC (0.2 mM), benzamidine (0.1 mg/mL), and calpain inhibitors I and II (8 μg/mL each).

Immunoprecipitation

Immunocytochemistry. Recommend subsequent staining with a labeled second antibody.

Western blot: 1.5 to 3.0 μg/mL (1:100-1:200) using ECL

Dilutions should be made using a carrier protein such as BSA (1-3%)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.4, containing 1% BSA and 0.05% sodium azide as a preservative. Reconstitute with 200 μL of sterile deionized water. Centrifuge antibody preparation before use (10,000 xg for 5 min).

Storage and Stability

Maintain lyophilized material at -20°C for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at 2-8°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 2 weeks. For longer periods, it is recommended to add glycerol (ACS grade or better) at a ratio of 1:1 and store the antibody at -20°C for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note

Control
Included free of charge with the antibody is 40 μg of control antigen (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the antigen can be made up using 100 μL of sterile deionized water. For negative control, preincubate 1 μg of peptide with 10 μg of antibody for one hour at room temperature. Optimal concentrations must be determined by the end user.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

GABAB receptors (GBRs), the G protein-coupled receptors for GABA, regulate synaptic transmission throughout the brain. A main synaptic function of GBRs is the gating of Cav2.2-type Ca2+ channels. However, the cellular compartment where stable GBR/Cav2.2 signaling complexes form remains unknown.
