CST, 51358SF, Parvalbumin (E8N2U) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free)

Monoclonal Antibody for studying Parvalbumin mouse. Validated for Western Blotting,Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin),Immunofluorescence (Frozen). Highly specific and rigorously validated in-house, Parvalbumin (E8N2U) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) (CST #51358) is ready to ship. Product Usage Information This product is the carrier free version of product #80561. 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 # 80561 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 Parvalbumin (E8N2U) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (BSA and Azide Free) recognizes endogenous levels of total parvalbumin protein. In mouse models, this antibody nonspecifically labels muscle in small intestine and juxtaglomerular cells in kidney by immunofluorescence. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant protein specific to the amino terminus of human parvalbumin protein. Background Parvalbumin (PV, PVALB) is a member of the EF-hand family of calcium-binding proteins, containing EF-hand domains with a high affinity for calcium and magnesium (1). Parvalbumin is expressed in both the soma and in processes of specific subclasses of GABAergic interneurons. Parvalbumin is a slow calcium buffer, meaning it accelerates the initial phase of decay of calcium after an action potential, which likely inhibits facilitation and is thought to regulate short-term synaptic plasticity (2,3). Altered function of PV positive interneurons has been implicated in many neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, autism spectrum disorder, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder (4).
