Anti-Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) is a hydrophilic protein that is expressed mainly in oligodendrocytes. It has a pivotal role in myelination of nervous system, signaling pathways prior to myelination and remyelination processes after neural injury. Anti-myelin basic protein (MBP) antibody can be used in western blotting and flow cytometry. Rabbit anti-myelin basic protein antibody reacts specifically with myelin basic protein of mouse, rat and human.
• Immunogen: synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 102-116 of human Myelin Basic Protein.
• Application: Anti-Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:indirect immunolabelingimmunohistochemistry.Western Blotting.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Myelin basic protein (MBP) plays a vital role in formation of myelin sheath and is associated with the various neurological disorders. MBP functions as an antigenic target in autoimmune disease experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). MBP plays an essential role in cytoskeletal turnover and membrane extension. Additionally, it is also involved in Fyn-mediated signaling pathways, sequestration of phosphoinositides and regulation of calcium homoeostasis. MBP functions as an in vitro substrate for mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP) kinase and aids in the purification and functional studies of enzyme.
• Physical form: solution in phosphate buffered saline, containing 0.02% sodium azide.
