Monoclonal Anti-Nexilin (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the hybridoma NX-38 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with a synthetic peptide conjugated to KLH. Nexilin is a filamentous actin-binding protein that localizes to focal contacts. Alternative splicing of the gene yields two different isoforms namely, b-nexilin and s-nexilin.
NEXN (nexilin), a cardiac Z-disc protein is made of 675 amino acids. It is present in the heart and skeletal muscle. NEXN is mapped to human chromosome 1p31.
Specificity
Monoclonal Anti-Nexilin recognizes human, rat, and mouse nexilin.
Application
Anti-Nexilin antibody,Mouse monoclonal may be used in immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry.
Biochem/physiol Actions
NEXN (nexilin) plays an important role in protecting cardiac Z-discs from forces generated within the sarcomere. Mutations in NEXN results in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Nexilin may be involved in cell adhesion and migration.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
Store at –20 °C. For continuous use, store at 2–8 °C for up to one month. 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 not used within 12 hours.

The bacterial pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) generate motile actin-rich structures (comet tails and pedestals) as part of their infectious processes. Nexilin, an actin-associated protein and a component of focal adhesions, has been suggested to be involved
