Parkin. Parkinson′s disease is a common neurodegenerative disease is caused by slow death of neurons in the substantial nigra, a brain region that utilizes the neurotransmitter dopamine. Parkin, a recently discovered gene encoding a large protein, may be involved in normal and abnormal protein degradation in cells. Recent evidence indicates that point mutations in the Parkin gene appear to be responsible for the pathogenesis of some forms of Parkinson′s disease.
Immunogen
A 19 amino acid peptide (RILGEEQYNRYQQYGAEEC) corresponding to amino acids 305-323 of the human parkin molecule. An internal peptide sequence was chosen to avoid the possibility of cross reactivity with ubiquitin.
Epitope: a.a. 305-323
Application
Detect Parkin using this Anti-Parkin Antibody, a.a. 305-323 validated for use in ELISA, WB, IH.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:1000 - 1:2000
One site ELISA
Western blot: 1:1000 - 1:2000 (recognizes a doublet at 44-52 kDa on blots of human brain)
The immunogen peptide is available (cat# AG237) for pre-absorbtion controls.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form
Rabbit serum. Lyophilized. Reconstitute with 50 μL of sterile distilled water. Centrifuge to remove insoluble material. Contains no preservative.
Storage and Stability
Maintain lyophilized material at at -20°C to -70°C for up to 12 months after date of receipt. After reconstitution maintain at -20°C to -70°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Glycerol (ACS grade or better) can be added (1:1) for greater stability.

Glioblastoma (GBM) cells feature mitochondrial alterations, which are documented and quantified in the present study, by using ultrastructural morphometry. Mitochondrial impairment, which roughly occurs in half of the organelles, is shown to be related to mTOR overexpression and autophagy suppression.

A mutation in the parkin gene has been identified as the cause for an autosomal recessively inherited form of early onset Parkinson's disease. We have recently isolated the mRNA coding for the rat homologue of parkin and showed its widespread

Mutations of parkin gene are not restricted to familial forms of Parkinsonism but they also occur in a wide variety of malignancies including gliomas. Parkin over-expression reduces glioma cells proliferation and analysis of its expression is predictive for the survival

Nine cases of atypical Pick's disease without Pick bodies were investigated immunohistochemically. Ubiquitin (ub)-positive and tau-negative structures were mainly found in the cerebral cortex and hippocampal dentate gyrus. In the cerebral cortex, most of the ub-positive structures had ub-positive dendrites
