- Extra Details:
- The protein named PrP is the cellular gene for the prion protein. The normal form appears to play a role in neuronal development and synaptic plasticity, iron transport and myelin sheath maintenance. PrP has both membrane associated and cytoplasmic/nuclear isoforms. The primary isoform is localized to the cellular membrane in lipid anchor clusters, as well as in the Golgi. Isoform 2 is cytoplasmic that becomes localized to the nucleus. Prp is normally a monomeric protein but a disease associated mutated form will form protease resistant oligomers often with another protein beta amyloid. The mutated form is found in high quantity in the brain of humans and animals infected with the degenerative neurological diseases such as Kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), Gerstmann-Straussler syndrome (GSS), Scrapie, and Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) and Transmissible Mink Encephalopathy. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Western Blot: 0.5ug/ml detected PrP in 10ug of rat brain tissue lysate. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
