Anti-Caveolin-1 antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: Anti-Caveolin-1 is developed in rabbit using a synthetic peptide corresponding to a region at the N-terminus of human caveolin-1 conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as immunogen. Caveolin-1 (CAV1) is a multifunctional scaffolding protein, that has three exons. It is located on chromosome 7q31.
• Specificity: The sequence is highly conserved in many species, e.g., identical in rat, mouse, bovine, and dog caveolin-1. The sequence is not found in caveolin-2 or caveolin-3.
• Immunogen: synthetic peptide corresponding to a region at the N-terminus of human caveolin-1 (amino acids 2-20).
• Application: Anti-Caveolin-1 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in: indirect immunofluorescencein confocal microscopywestern blotting
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Caveolin family members function as scaffolding proteins to organize and concentrate specific lipids such as cholesterol and glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) and lipid modified signaling molecules within caveolae membranes. Staining of caveolin-1 in immunoblotting is specifically inhibited with caveolin-1 immunizing peptide (human, amino acids 2-20).†
• Physical form: Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
