Invitrogen™ Caveolin 1 Polyclonal Antibody

Descripción

PA1-064 detects caveolin 1 from human, canine, hamster, mouse, and rat tissues and cells. PA1-064 has been successfully used in Western blot and immunoprecipitation procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects an ~22 kDa protein representing caveolin 1 from rat heart protein extract. The PA1-064 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues M(1) S G G K Y V D S E G H L Y T V P(17) C of human CAV1. This sequence is completely conserved between human, mouse, canine, bovine, and rat. The PA1-064 immunizing peptide (Cat. # PEP-146) is available for use in neutralization and control experiments.

Caveolin-1 or CAV1 is a scaffolding proteins within caveolar membranes. It interacts directly with G-protein alpha subunits and can functionally regulate their activity. Caveolin-1 is also involved in the co-stimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR) mediated T-cell activation. It can bind with DPP4 and induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner. Mutations affecting the CAV1 gene can result in congenital generalized lipodystrophy 3, pulmonary hypertension primary 3, or partial lipodystrophy/congenital cataracts, and neurodegeneration syndrome.
