SKU:: N0569-01
Purity:: Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Storage Conditions:: -20°C
Supplier:: United States Biological
Host:: Rabbit
Immunogen:: Synthetic peptide corresponding to 22aa near the N-terminal, cytoplasmic domain of rat NCX2 (KLH). Species Sequence Homology: mouse; 100%, human; 81%.
Format:: Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 0.1% BSA.
Extra Details:: Ca2+ plays a critical role in intracellular signaling. Intracellular Ca2+ levels are tightly controlled by continuos removal of Ca2+ via ATP-driven Ca2+ pump in the endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane, and Ca2+ transport system, the Na+/Ca2+ exchangers (NCX), in the plasma membrane. NCX can move Ca2+ either into or out of cells, depending on the net Na+, Ca2+, and K+ gradient across the membrane. In most cells, 3 Na+ are exchanged for 1 Ca2+. In mammals, at least 5 distinct genes code for the exchangers: Three NCX (NCX1, NCX2, and NCX3), and two in the NCKX family (NCKX1 and NCKX2). NCX share significant sequence homology (~70%), display 11 TM domains, a large central, intracellular hydrophilic regulatory loop between TM5 and 6, extracellular N-terminus and cytoplasmic C-terminus. The N-terminal signal peptide is cleaved off from the mature exchanger protein. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Western Blot, though not tested, may potentially be used as an application. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilutions: ELISA: 0.5-1ug/ml; Control peptide can be used to coat ELISA plates at 1ug/ml. Western Blot: 1-10ug/ml using ECL Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Recommended Control Peptide: N0569-25: NCX2, Rat (Sodium Calcium Exchanger) 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. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
