Homer1 antibody - 160 008

Homer1 , 2 and 3 are post synaptic density (PSD) proteins involved in the targeting of glutamate receptors
Rabbit monoclonal recombinant IgG
Cat. No.: 160 008
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $415.00
Cat. No. 160 008 50 µg purified recombinant IgG, lyophilized. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!

Clone Rb2G8
Subtype IgG1 (κ light chain)
Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to the N-terminal half of human Homer 1 (UniProt Id: Q86YM7)
Reactivity Reacts with: rat (Q9Z214), mouse (Q9Z2Y3), human (Q86YM7).
Other species not tested yet.
Specificity Specific for Homer 1. According to Soloviev et al. (2000), aa 1 - 180 are present in isoforms a, b, c and d.
Matching control protein/peptide 160-0P
Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the well known monoclonal mouse antibody clone 2G8. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced by rabbit specific sequences. Therefore, the antibody can be used with standard anti-rabbit secondary reagents. The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells.
ExM: This antibody has been successfully used for the epitope-preserving magnified analysis of the proteome (eMAP) expansion microscopy method (Park et al. 2021. PMID: 34767453).

Background

Homer is a scaffolding protein of the post synaptic density (PSD) and enriched at excitatory synapses. The protein binds metabotropic glutamate receptors, TRPC1, proteins of the Shank family and others. By aggregating these proteins into clusters, homer was suggested to organize distinct signalling domains.
Three isoforms, Homer 1, 2 and 3 have been described. Each of these isoforms is subject to alternative splicing yielding the splice variants a, b, c, d.
