Nogo (RTN4, Neurite outgrowth inhibitor, Reticulon-4) (Internal Region) antibody

Antigen: Nogo (RTN4, Neurite outgrowth inhibitor, Reticulon-4)

Binding Site: Internal Region

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB)

Catalog no.: ABIN350522

Additional Information

UniProt: Q9NQC3

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from internal region of human Nogo (RTN4, Neurite outgrowth inhibitor, Reticulon-4) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Isotype: IgG

Description: Function: Potent neurite growth inhibitor in vitro and plays a role both in the restriction of axonal regeneration after injury and in structural plasticity in the CNS. Subcellular location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note: Anchored to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum through 2 putativetransmembrane domains. Tissue specificity: Isoform 1 is specifically expressed in brain and testis and weakly in heart and skeletal muscle. Isoform 2 is widely expressed except for the liver. Isoform 3 is expressed in brain, skeletal muscle and adipocytes. Isoform 4 is testis-specific. Also known as: RTN4, Neurite outgrowth inhibitor, Reticulon-4, Nogo protein, Foocen, Neuroendocrine-specific protein, NSP, Neuroendocrine-specific protein C homolog, RTN-x, Reticulon-5.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for Nogo.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A concentration of 10-50 µg/ml is recommended. The optimal concentration should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: IgG

Purification: The antibody is affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.

Storage: Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
