50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin was added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in TBS. 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! |

ELKS, also referred to as ERCs (ERC 1 and ERC 2) and CAST, are related proteins which share an identical C-terminal sequence. They interact with the conserved RIM PDZ domain via an unusual PDZ binding motif. Two splice variants of ERC 1 (1a and 1b) have been described. ERC 1b (CAST 2a) binds to RIM and is expressed exclusively in the brain. ERC 1a is a ubiquitously expressed cytosolic protein. ERC 2 (CAST 1) is only expressed as a single RIM binding variant.
All ERCs have been shown to interact with Rab 6, a protein involved in membrane trafficking at the Golgi complex. The function of these proteins has not been determined yet. They may link Rab 6 mediated non-neuronal membrane traffic at the Golgi complex to neuronal membrane traffic at the active zone executed via RIMs.
