General description

Calbindin D28k is a member of a large family of intracellular calcium-binding proteins of the EF-hand related to calmodulin and troponin-C. The biological roles of Calbindin D28k include, calcium regulation (including calcium transport and uptake, calcification of bone and teeth) and calcium related signalling in neurons and transiently in embryological development. This calbindin also has a role in protecting neurons from apoptotic cell death. Disregulation of this calbindin protein relates to several disease states. Decline in calbindin D28k in hippocampal dentate granule cells correlates with the kindling model for epilepsy. Calbindin D28k immunoreactivity is specifically absent from neuronal poplulations lost early in ALS, while substantial loss of neurons which do contain the protein occur in patients with Huntington′s disease.

Specificity

Calbindin. Shows no cross-reactivity to calretinin by Western blot. The antibody produces specific staining of cerebellum Purkinje cells, molecular layer dendrites and axonal fibers, stains cell bodies and fibers in neuronal subpopulations.

Immunogen

Purified recombinant calbindin.

Application

Antibody is prediluted and ready to use for Immunohistochemistry of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues.

Pretreatment: Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval (HIER). Recommend Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0 (Cat. No. 21545). No signal was detected without Epitope retrieval.

Incubation: 30 minutes with IHC Select Detection Kits.

Calbindin has been prediluted for use as the primary antibody with Chemicon′s IHC Select Detection Kits and Protocols (Catalog Nos. DAB050, DET-HP1000, APR050, and DET-APR1000), but other supplier′s IHC detection systems may be used. For optimized protocol details, visit www.chemicon.com and select the protocols link under Cat. No.IHCR1013-6.
Detect Calbindin D-28K using this Anti-Calbindin D-28K Antibody, prediluted validated for use in IH(P).

In addition to androgenic properties mediated via androgen receptors, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) also regulates estrogenic functions via an alternate pathway. These estrogenic functions of DHT are mediated by its metabolite 5α-androstane-3β, 17β-diol (3β-diol) binding to estrogen receptor β (ERβ). CYP7B1 enzyme
