Its structural composition consists of 191 amino acids, forming a compact protein with a molecular weight of approximately 21 kD. The protein is characterized by the presence of four EF-hand motifs, each containing a helix-loop-helix structure, facilitating high-affinity Ca 2+ binding. Through its Ca 2+ -sensing capabilities, hippocalcin modulates various crucial cellular functions and signaling pathways. It participates in the regulation of intracellular Ca 2+ homeostasis and influences Ca 2+ -dependent signaling cascades. The protein's interactions with key proteins and enzymes enables it to contribute to processes such as neurotransmitter release, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal excitability. Hippocalcin’s involvement in human diseases has been observed in several conditions. In neurological disorders like epilepsy, dysregulation of hippocalcin disrupts Ca 2+ signaling, leading to neuronal hyperexcitability and the manifestation of seizures. Additionally, alterations in hippocalcin expression and function have been linked to neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, suggesting its potential role in disease progression. Furthermore, elevated levels of hippocalcin have been associated with certain cancers, such as breast and lung cancer, indicating its involvement in tumor progression and metastasis.\u003cbr\u003e\n100μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nImmunogen: Recombinant fragment of Hippocalcin\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/mL\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: WB - Quality tested\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting.
