This Rabbit Polyclonal antibody specifically detects APP in WB. It exhibits reactivity toward Human, Mouse, Rat, Dog, Cow, Chicken and Non-Human Primate.
Specific for ~115k APP protein. Immunolabeling of the APP protein band is completely blocked by preadsorption of the antibody with the peptide used as antigen.
Cross-Reactivity (Details)
Species reactivity (expected):Human, Canine, Chicken, Mouse and non-Human Primates. Species reactivity (tested):Rat.
Purification
Affinity Chromatography.
Immunogen
Peptide corresponding to amino acid residues from the C-terminal region of rat APP.
Western Blot: 1/1000. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
A large body of evidence has implicated the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Kamenetz et al., 2003). The phosphorylation of APP at Thr668 is thought to play a critical role in generation of the soluble APP (beta) and beta-amyloid peptide (abeta) which are the major components of senile plaques in patient brains inflicted with AD (Liu et al., 2003, Ando et al., 2001).Synonyms: ABPP, APPI, Alzheimer disease amyloid protein, Amyloid Precursor Protein, CVAP, Cerebral vascular amyloid peptide, PreA4, Protease nexin-II
