Cat. No. 457 008 |
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! |
Applications | |
Clone | Rb301H8 |
Subtype | IgG1 (κ light chain) |
Immunogen | Recombinant protein corresponding to AA 52 to 143 from mouse Opalin (UniProt Id: Q7M750) |
Reactivity |
Reacts with: mouse (Q7M750), rat (Q56A26), human (Q96PE5). Other species not tested yet. |
Remarks |
This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the monoclonal mouse antibody SY-301H8E4. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced by rabbit specific sequences. The antibody can therefore be used with standard anti-rabbit secondary reagents. The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells |
Data sheet | 457_008.pdf |
Opalin also called Tmem10 is a transmembrane protein detected specifically in mammalian oligodendrocytes. Opalin homologs are found only in mammals and not in the genome sequences of other animal classes (1). Deficient mice are born the expected Mendelian ratio and have a normal body shape and weight. No obvious abnormalities in gross anatomy or major myelin protein components nor in the compartment of myelinated axons and oligodendrocyte maturation. Nevertheless, deficient mice display increased exploratory activity in a novel environment (2).
