This LGI1 antibody is predicted to be specific to LGI1 and not recognize other LGI proteins.
Purification
LGI1 Antibody is affinity chromatography purified via peptide column.
Immunogen
LGI1 antibody was raised against a 14 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the center of human LGI1. The immunogen is located within amino acids 370 - 420 of LGI1.
LGI1 antibody can be used for the detection of LGI1 by Western blot at 2 μ,g/mL. Antibody can also be used for immunohistochemistry starting at 2.5 μ,g/mL. For immunofluorescence start at 20 μ,g/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in human samples, Immunohistochemistry in human samples and Immunofluorescence in human samples. All other applications and species not yet tested.

Background
LGI1 Antibody: The leucine-rich, glioma inactivated gene 1 (LGI1) was first identified as a candidate tumor suppressor gene for glioma and may play a role in other cancers. LGI1 is a member of a family of highly related proteins containing leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) which are highly similar to other transmembrane signaling molecules and receptors. LGI1 serves as a ligand to ADAM22, a metalloprotease localized at the synapse. Mutations in LGI1 account for nearly half of autodominant lateral temporal epilepsy (ADTLE), an epileptic syndrome characterized by focal seizures with predominant auditory symptoms. Two isoforms of LGI1 are known to exist, this LGI1 antibody will recognize only the longer form.
