Invitrogen™ Human AHNAK (aa 5583-5716) Control Fragment Recombinant Protein

Descripción

Highest antigen sequence indentity to the following orthologs: Mouse (87%), Rat (87%). This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-53890 (PA5-53890. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.

AHNAK1 (Desmoyokin) is a large (700 kDa) scaffold protein that translocates to the plasma membrane after an increas of extracellular calcium level or upon proteinkinase C activation and regulates extracellular calcium influx mediated by L-type Ca2+ channels. AHNAK1 has been implicated in diverse signal transduction proceses affecting cell differentiation and proliferation. In response to calcium-dependent intercellular contacts AHNAK1 forms multimeric complexes in the plasma membrane, connected with actin and annexin 2/S100A10 assemblies and is thus involved in organization of the plasma membrane architecture. In epithelial cells, AHNAK1 is localized in cytoplasm or is membrane-associated, but in cells of nonepithelial origin AHNAK1 is predominantly nuclear; it has a weak DNA-binding activity and associates with the DNA-ligase IV-XRCC4 complex.
