Elfn1 is a post-synaptic protein involved in the regulation of circuit dynamics in the CNS
Guinea pig polyclonal purified antibody
Cat. No.: 448 005
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $460.00
Cat. No. 448 005 50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. 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!

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.

Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of mouse Elfn1 (UniProt Id: Q8C8T7)
Reactivity Reacts with: mouse (Q8C8T7), rat (D3ZZ44).
Other species not tested yet.
Remarks

IHC: Heat-mediated antigen retrieval (citrate buffer pH 6) is recommended for immunohistochemical staining.

Background

Extracellular leucine-rich repeat and fibronectin type-III domain-containing protein 1 (ELFN1) is a post-synaptic protein that regulates circuit dynamics in the central nervous system (1) and is expressed with increasing levels during postnatal development (2).
ELFN1 is involved in the generation of facilitating synapses onto somatostatin interneurons by the recruitment of the two pre-synaptic components mGluR7 and GluK2 (2, 3).
Missense mutations of ELFN1 in the carboxy-terminal region required for mGluR7 recruitment have been observed in patients with epilepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (2).
