Description

General description

Monoclonal Anti-Pinin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 5F1 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice. Pinin (PNN) is a serine/arginine-rich (SR)-related protein, that is found to localize to the cytoplasmic face of the desmosomal plaque in the convergence of intermediate filaments and to pin them to the desmosome. It consists of an Arg-Ser (RS) domain in its carboxyl terminus. This gene is mapped to human chromosome 14q.

Specificity

Monoclonal Anti-Pinin recognizes human pinin. It crossreacts with monkey, bovine, and dog pinin.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 547-737 of human pinin, conjugated to KLH.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Pinin antibody produced in mouse may be used in:

• enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
• immunoblotting
• immunocytochemistry

Biochem/physiol Actions

Pinin (PNN) is mainly linked with the mature desmosomes of the epithelia. It plays a role in inducing junction formation and enhance cell aggregation. PNN transcription and protein levels were found to be reduced in renal and transitional cell carcinomas, suggesting its role as a tumor suppressor. PNN protein reduction by RNAi or knockdown resulted in loss of cell-cell adhesion as well as aberrant mouse development. It plays a key role in mRNA export, cell−cell adhesion, alternative splicing and cell migration. PNN also controls gene transcription.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

For extended storage, freeze at -20 °C in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if notused within 12 hours.
