Gephyrin antibody - 147 011C2 K.O.

Gephyrin is a scaffolding protein associated with inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors
Mouse monoclonal purified IgG
Cat. No.: 147 011C2
Amount: 100 µg
Price: $465.00
Cat. No. 147 011C2 100 µg purified IgG, lyophilized, fluorescence-labeled with Cyanine 2.

Fluorescence labeled antibodies conjugated to (Sulfo-)Cyanine dyes are well suited for standard epi-fluorescence setups and confocal microscopy.

Cyanine 2: λex 492 nm / λem 508 nm
Sulfo-Cyanine 3: λex 554 nm / λem 568 nm
Sulfo-Cyanine 5: λex 649 nm / λem 667 nm

(Sulfo-)Cyanine 5 dyes are well suited for STORM high resolution microscopy.
Sulfo-Cyanines are highly water soluble and allow a higher labeling degree and consequently brighter conjugates.

Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 100 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Either add 1:1 (v/v) glycerol, then aliquot and store at -20°C until use, or store aliquots at -80°C without additives.
Reconstitute immediately upon receipt! Avoid bright light when working with the antibody to minimize photo bleeching of the fluorescent dye.
Applications
 
WB: N/A
IP: N/A
ICC: 1 : 250 up to 1 : 500 gallery  
IHC: not tested yet
IHC-P: not recommended

Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Background

Gephyrin is a bifunctional protein which is essential for both synaptic clustering of inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the central nervous system and the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) in peripheral tissues. It co-purifies with the inhibitory glycine receptor (GlyR) and is expressed abundantly in all brain areas which contain synapses.
