CST, 48679SF, Doublecortin (F6K9E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying doublecortin. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunofluorescence (Frozen),Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Doublecortin (F6K9E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #48679) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #56130. All data were generated using the same antibody clone in the standard formulation which contains BSA and glycerol. This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us . Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. BSA and Azide Free antibodies are quality control tested by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to determine antibody integrity. Formulation Supplied in 1X PBS (10 mM Na 2 HPO 4 , 3 mM KCl, 2 mM KH 2 PO 4 , and 140 mM NaCl (pH 7.8)). BSA and Azide Free. For standard formulation of this product see product # 56130 Storage Store at -20°C. This product will freeze at -20°C so it is recommended to aliquot into single-use vials to avoid multiple freeze/thaw cycles. A slight precipitate may be present and can be dissolved by gently vortexing. This will not interfere with antibody performance. Specificity / Sensitivity Doublecortin (F6K9E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total doublecortin protein. This antibody can detect an additional 35 kDa amino terminus specific isoform expressed in human and rat, but not mouse. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human doublecortin protein. Background Mutations in doublecortin ( ) cause Lissencephaly (smooth brain), a neuronal migration disorder characterized by epilepsy and mental retardation (1). Doublecortin is a microtubule-associated protein that stabilizes and bundles microtubules. A conserved doublecortin domain mediates the interaction with microtubules, and interestingly most missense mutations cluster in this domain (2). Kinases JNK, CDK5, and PKA phosphorylate doublecortin. JNK phosphorylates Thr321, Thr331, and Ser334 while PKA phosphorylates Ser47 and CDK5 phosphorylates Ser297 (3-5). Phosphorylation of Ser297 lowers the affinity of doublecortin to microtubules. Furthermore, mutations of Ser297 result in migration defects (5).
