- Extra Details:
- MaxLight™550 is a new Yellow-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to Alexa Fluor™546, 555, DyLight™549 , Cy3™, TRITC and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (550nm); Emission (575nm); Extinction Coefficient 150,000. The activity of Glutamate/Aspartate Transporter 2 (also known as GLT1), the main glutamate transporter in the CNS, can be regulated by protein kinase C (PKC). It is known that activation of PKC by phorbol esters promotes the clathrin-dependent internalization of the transporter, followed by its lysosomal degradation. However, the molecular mechanisms that link PKC activation and the internalization of the Glutamate/Aspartate Transporter 2 are not fully understood. The internalization process may play a role in the ubiquitylation of lysine residues located in the C-terminal tail of the Glutamate/Aspartate Transporter 2. Exposure to PMA increases the ubiquitylation of the Glutamate/Aspartate Transporter 2 in transfected cells and in the rat brain, and this ubiquitylated Glutamate/Aspartate Transporter 2 accumulates in the intracellular compartment. The activation of PKC induces the ubiquitylation of these C-terminal lysine residues in the Glutamate/Aspartate Transporter 2 and this modification mediates the interaction of the transporter with the endocytic machinery. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Positive Control: Mouse brain tissue lysate Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™550 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
