Recombinant human neuroglobin. The Human Neuroglobin is created as a recombinant protein produced in E. coli. It is the 17 kDa protein containing 151 amino acid residues of the Human Neuroglobin. The amino acid sequence of the recombinant human neuroglobin is 100% homologous with the amino acid sequence of the human neuroglobin.

FITC
Application Notes
Western Blot. Immunohistochemistry. ELISA. The titer of this antibody was determined by indirect ELISA: it is >1: 100,000 for antibodyconcentration 1 mg/mL, 25 ng of antigen are coated per well, and is then defined at a pointof maximal decrease of the titration curve. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.
Restrictions
For Research Use only
Reconstitution
Restore with 0.05 mL of deionized water and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely. Slight turbidity may occur after reconstitution, which does not affect activity of the antibody. In this case clarify the solution by centrifugation.
Concentration
1.0 mg/mL
Buffer
0.05 M phosphate buffer, 0.1 M NaCl, pH 7.2.
Handling Advice
Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Storage
-20 °C
Storage Comment
Prior to reconstitution store at -70 °C. Following reconstitution store the antibody (in aliquots) at -20 °C for 6 months.
Neuroglobin, a 151 amino acid reside protein, mainly expressed in vertebrate brain and retina, is a recently identified member of the globin superfamily. Augmenting O2 supply, neuroglobin promotes survival of neurons upon hypoxic injury, potentially limiting brain damage. Moreover, neuroglobin may be a novel oxidative stress-responsive sensor for signal transduction in the brain. Neuroglobin expression is increased by neuronal hypoxia in vitro and focal cerebral ischemia in vivo, and neuronal survival after hypoxia is reduced by inhibiting neuroglobin expression with an antisense oligodeoxynucleotide and enhanced by neuroglobin overexpression.Synonyms: NGB
