General description

Monoclonal Anti-Parvalbumin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma PARV-19 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with purified frog muscle parvalbumin. Parvalbumin (PV) is a member of the family of Ca2+-binding molecules. It carries three helix-loop-helix EF-hand Ca2+ binding motifs, with the two C-terminal motifs.

Specificity

Monoclonal Anti-Parvalbumin recognizes parvalbumin in a Ca2+ -ion dependent manner

Immunogen

purified frog muscle parvalbumin. The isotype is determined by ELISA using Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Isotyping Reagents (Sigma ISO-2).

Application

Anti-Parvalbumin antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in:
  • immunohistochemistry
  • immunofluorescence staining
  • immunolabeling
  • to label brain slices for perineuronal net staining
  • enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • immunocytochemistry

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Ca2+ participates in cell motility, release of neurotransmitters, membrane permeability, excitation−contraction of muscles, cell secretory procedures, and transmission of nerve impulses. Intracellular Ca2+ exchangers are essential to modulate these processes efficiently. Parvalbumin (PV), a calcium-binding protein, can regulate the intracellular calcium dynamics in neurons. Hence it may have an impact on facilitation and depression at synapses. Interestingly, PV deficiency alters neuronal activity, a key mechanism leading to epileptic seizures or Parkinson.

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 not used within 12 hours.

Aims: Impaired embryonic cortical interneuron development from prenatal stress is linked to adult neuropsychiatric impairment, stemming in part from excessive generation of reactive oxygen species in the developing embryo. Unfortunately, there are no preventive medicines that mitigate the risk of

Parvalbumins (PVs) are acidic, intracellular Ca(2+)-binding proteins of low molecular weight. They are associated with several Ca(2+)-mediated cellular activities and physiological processes. It has been suggested that PV might function as a "Ca2+ shuttle" transporting Ca2+ from troponin-C (TnC) to
