polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 protein (PK2L1, PKD2L1, PKD2L, PKDL, Polycystin-L) (1st Cytoplasmic Loop) antibody

Antigen: polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 protein (PK2L1, PKD2L1, PKD2L, PKDL, Polycystin-L)

Binding Site: 1st Cytoplasmic Loop

Clonality: Polyclonal

Host: Rabbit

Reactivity: Mouse (Murine)

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

Catalog no.: ABIN350747

Additional Information

UniProt: Q80ZH4

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the 1t cytoplasmic loop of mouse Polycystic kidney disease 2-like 1 protein (PK2L1, PKD2L1, PKD2L, PKDL, Polycystin-L) conjugated to an immunogenic carrier protein was used as the immunogen.

Format: Lyophilized

Description: This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded protein contains multipletransmembrane domains, and cytoplasmic N- and C-termini. The protein may be an integral membrane protein involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions. This protein functions as a calcium-regulated nonselective cation channel. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full length sequences have not been determined FUNCTION: May function as a subunit of an ion channel and act as a transducer of calcium-mediated signaling. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in adult heart, skeletal muscle, brain, spleen, testis, retina and liver. According to Ref.1 expressed at high levels in fetal tissues, including kidney and liver, and down-regulated in adult tissues. It has been found to be expressed in fetal brain, but not expressed in fetal lung, liver or kidney. Isoform 4 appears to be expressed only in transformed lymphoblasts. Also known as: PK2L1, PKD2L1, PKD2L, PKDL, Polycystin-L.

Specificity: Appears to be specific for PKD2L1.

Application Details

Application Notes: IHC, WB. A dilution of 1 : 300 to 1 : 2000 is recommended. The optimal dilution should be determined by the end user. Not yet tested in other applications.

Purity: whole serum

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
