Homer1b/c antibody - 160 111AbOR

Homer1, 2 and 3 are post synaptic density (PSD) proteins involved in the targeting of glutamate receptors
Mouse monoclonal purified IgG
Cat. No.: 160 111AbOR
Amount: 100 µg
Price: $465.00
Cat. No. 160 111AbOR 100 µg purified IgG, lyophilized, fluorescence-labeled with abberior STAR ORANGE.

abberior STAR® dyes have been especially developed for for Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy which allows higher resolution imaging compared to confocal laser scanning microscopy. For many of the fluorescence labeled antibodies conjugated to abberior STAR® dyes established fluorescence detection systems can be used.

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 : 300 (see remarks) gallery  
IHC: not tested yet
IHC-P: not tested yet

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

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, Homer1, 2 and 3 have been described. Each of these isoforms is subject to alternative splicing yielding the splice variants a, b, c, d.
