Cat. No. 197 003DY5 |
50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen, fluorescence-labeled with
DY 649P.
Albumin was added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 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. |

The essential micronutrient zinc plays an important role in many biological processes like growth, development and reproduction. It is found in the active site of many enzymes, where ionization, polarization or replacement of Zn2+ bound water is involved in catalytic reactions. As a charged ion Zn2+ cannot cross biological membranes by simple diffusion and must be transported into or out of cells by specialized transport mechanisms. Four Zn transporter proteins, ZnT 1 to ZnT 4, have been cloned. All of them contain several transmembrane domains and a histidine rich intracellular loop.
In the central nervous system Zn plays important roles in synaptic function and plasticity. At synapses Zn is stored in synaptic vesicles by a mechanism depending on the integral membrane protein ZnT 3.
