A band of unknown origin is detected ~40kDa in some rodent samples. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val209 of human Arg3.1 protein. Background Arg3.1, also known as Arc for activity-regulated cytoskeleton-associated protein, is an immediate early gene whose expression is necessary for synaptic plasticity (1). Arg3.1 expression is induced by many experimental stimuli such as LTP (2), LTD (3), and learning. Arg3.1 is also involved in the regulation of synaptic strength and homeostatic scaling by promoting AMPA receptors endocytosis (5,6). Arg3.1 dysregulation has been proposed to participate in cognitive decline during aging (7).
