Anti-Precerebellin Antibody

Precerebellin is the precursor of the brain-specific hexadecapeptide cerebellin, a protein with substantial similarity to the globular region of the B chain of complement component C1q. Cerebellin exerts neuromodulatory functions by directly stimulating norepinephrine release via the adenylate cyclase/pka-dependent signaling pathway; and indirectly enhances adrenocortical secretion in vivo, through a paracrine mechanism involving medullary catecholamine release. The active form of precerebellin is highly enriched in postsynaptic structures of cerebellar Purkinje cells in cartwheel neurons of the dorsal cochlear nucleus. Because precerebellin belongs to the C1q/tumor necrosis factor superfamily of secreted proteins and has similarity to adiponectin and CTRP3, it has been suggested that precerebellin possess functions other than those already stated.

This Precerebellin antibody is validated for use in WB & IHC for the detection of the Precerebellin protein.

Evaluated by Western Blot in mouse cerebellum lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected Precerebellin in 10 µg/mL of mouse cerebellum tissue lysate.

~35 kDa observed. The calculated molecular weight is 22 kDa, however, the full length Precerebellin has been shown as a ~35 kDa band. (Bao, D., et al. (2005). Journal of Neurochemistry. 95:618-629.) An uncharacterized band may appear at ~50 kDa in some lysates.

Antigen Affinity Purified

Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing PBS with 0.02% sodium azide.

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Control
Mouse cerebellum tissue lysate
