| Description | Lens proteins consist almost entirely of crystallins (about 95%). Crystallins are also found vertebrate skeletal muscle tissue. In the lens, their structural function is to assist in maintaining the proper refractive index of the lens. The mammalian lens contains 3 major classes of crystallins: alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha-crystallin is the largest of the crystallins and is composed of 2 primary gene products--alpha-A and alpha-B. There are at least 5 different proteins comprising the beta-crystallins. The gamma-crystallins are monomeric, but there are at least 5 gamma crystallins identified in bovine and rat lens. Alpha-Crystallin comprises 40% of total lens protein composition. In addition to maintaining proper refractive index, it also functions in a chaperone like manner by preventing the formation of aggregates possibly leading to cataract formation. It is believed that the phosphorylated states of the alpha-crystallin occur in response to cellular stress and may serve a str |

| Specificity | This antibody does not detect the unphosphorylated form of the protein. |
Application Details: alpha A Crystallin (Rat) antibody
| Application | Immunohistochemistry ((Frozen Sections) (IHC) (fro)), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f)), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Western Blotting (WB) |
| Application Notes | IHC-P: Use at a concentration of 10 ug/ml. WB: Use at a concentration of 0.1 ug/ml. Detects a band of approximately 20 kDa representing alpha-A crystallin from bovine lens samples. Immunohistochemical staining of alpha-A crystallin in rat thymus samples results in staining of epithelial reticular cells. Not tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. |
