Quick Overview for MPZ antibody (ABIN953494)

Target: MPZ (Myelin Protein Zero (MPZ))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Chicken

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This MPZ antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Product Details anti-MPZ Antibody

Specificity: Recognizes P0 Myelin Protein.

Purification: Affinity Chromatography using a peptide column.

Immunogen: Two antipeptide antibodies were generated in Chickens against sequences shared between the Mouse (NP_032649) and Human (NP_000521) gene products. Production: After repeated injections, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks. These IgY fractions were then affinity-purified using a peptide column, and the concentrations of the eluates adjusted to 0.2 mg/ml. Finally, equal volumes of both of these affinity purified anti-peptide antibodies were mixed, and the preparation was filter-sterilized.

Isotype: Ig Fraction

Target Details for MPZ

Target: MPZ (Myelin Protein Zero (MPZ))

Alternative Name: MPZ

Background: Human Myelin Protein Zero (Po) is a 28,400 dalton protein (258 amino acids) found in myelin of the PNS, but not the CNS. Expressed in myelinating Schwann cells, Po serves as a homophilic adhesion molecule, allowing adjacent laminae of the myelin sheath to undergo compaction. Po is also a marker of a subpopulation of migrating neural crest cells. Mutations of the MPZ gene product in humans is responsible for Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1B neuropathies (HMSN1B).Synonyms: MPP, Myelin P0 protein, Myelin peripheral protein, Myelin protein zero
