Gene Information

human ... CHRM1(1128)

Specificity

Recognizes a full length m1 protein. It has exhibited no cross reactivity with other muscarinic proteins tested so far.

Immunogen

GST fusion protein and part of i3 intercellular loop of human m1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (amino acids 227-353) (Accession P11229).

This Anti-Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor m1 Antibody is validated for use in IH, WB for the detection of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor m1.
Western blot: 1:200 using ECL on rat brain membranes with proteinase inhibitors. M1 is approximately 60-80kDa in size, some preparations yield 125kDa dimers (photo). Heating samples to 80-90C rather than fulling boiling and adjusting sample pH to neutral can help in preventing dimer formation.

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

Immunohistochemistry: rat frozen sections. 1:50-1:200, internal epitope; use triton X-100 in blocking buffer only; dilute primary antibody in PBS or TBS with 0.5%-1% BSA or NGS only.



Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, 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 x g 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 -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Analysis Note

Control
Included free of charge with the antibody is 60 μg of control fusion protein (lyophilized powder). The stock solution of the fusion protein can be made up using 100 μL of PBS. For positive control, in Western blot using 10 ng of protein per minigel lane. For negative control, preincubate 3 μg of fusion protein with 1 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.

The Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), often associated with small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), is a disorder of acetylcholine (ACh) release from motor nerve terminals. In most patients, it is caused by autoantibodies against the P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) that trigger

Acetylcholine (ACh) is a major regulator of visceral function exerting pharmacologically relevant effects upon smooth muscle tone and epithelial function via five types of muscarinic receptors (M1R-M5R). In this paper, we assessed the specificity of muscarinic receptor (MR) antibodies in

The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is widely expressed in the nervous system, including in the inner retinal neurons in all species studied to date. Although reductions in the expression of α7 nAChRs are thought to contribute to the memory

Cholinergic modulation of cortex powerfully influences information processing and brain states, causing robust desynchronization of local field potentials and strong decorrelation of responses between neurons. We found that intracortical cholinergic inputs to mouse visual cortex specifically and differentially drive a

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by developmental regression, loss of communicative ability, stereotyped hand wringing, cognitive impairment, and central apneas, among many other symptoms. RTT is caused by loss-of-function mutations in a methyl-reader known as
