ODF2 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN964608

Product Details anti-ODF2 Antibody

Target: ODF2 (Outer Dense Fiber of Sperm Tails 2 (ODF2))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This ODF2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), ELISA

Specificity: This antibody was purified from monospecific antiserum by protein-A purified immunoaffinity chromatography. It is directed against, and shows specific reactivity for, human Cenexin-1 protein. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Cenexin-1 from human, chimpanzee, mouse, rat, bovine sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity with Cenexin-1 protein from other sources has not been determined.

Characteristics: This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Cenexin-1 (ODF84) and cenexin-2 are splicing variants that are expressed from the same genetic locus Outer Dense Fiber protein 2 (ODF2) . Cenexin-1 and cenexin-2, regarded as centriolar proteins. Cenexin-1, a 93-kD variant of ODF2, is the major form of cennexin expressed in various somatic cells and tissues and associates with centrosomes. Cenexin-1 contains a unique C-terminal extension that appears to play a critical role in recruiting mitotic regulators such as polo-like kinase 1. In contrast, ODF2, a 70-kDa protein, is a major component of sperm tail cytoskeleton and abundantly expressed in testis. Additional evidence suggests that both of these proteins play important role in primary cilia formation. The fibers function in maintaining the elastic structure and recoil of the sperm tail as well as in protecting the tail from shear forces during epididymal transport and ejaculation. Defects in the outer dense fibers lead to abnormal sperm morphology and infertility. Cenexin-1 is one of the major outer dense fiber proteins. Multiple protein isoforms are encoded by transcript variants of the cenexin gene, however, not all isoforms and variants have been fully described.

Purification: affinity purified

Sterility: Sterile filtered

Immunogen: This protein-A purified antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a truncated recombinant protein hCenexin1.
Immunogen Type: RecombinantProtein

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Anti-Cenexin-1 purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and western blotting. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 93 kDa in size corresponding to Cenexin-1 by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract.
