Product no.: | 11-593-C025 |
Product type: | Primary antibodies |
Host species: | Mouse |
Product name: | Mouse Monoclonal to CD230 / Human Prion Protein (PrP) |
Antigen: | CD230 / Human Prion Protein (PrP) |
Clonality: | Monoclonal |
Clone: | EM-20 |
Isotype: | IgG2a |
Immunogen: | Recombinant human prion protein |
Format: | purified |
Specificity: | The mouse monoclonal antibody EM-20 recognizes human prion protein (PrP). Diglycosylated form of PrP has ~ 40 kDa, monoglycosylated form ~ 30 kDa, and nonglycosylated form ~ 19-21 kDa. This antibody is suitable for discrimination between normal cellular prion protein (PrPc) and its conformationally changed form (PrPSc) prion protein. |
Categories: | CD and Related Antigens (Human), Neurobiology (Human) |
Concentration: | 1 mg/ml |
Storage buffer: | Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 15 mM sodium azide, approx. pH 7.4 |
Storage / stability: | Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label. |
Background: | CD230 / Human prion protein (PrP), also known as PRNP, is a ubiquitously expressed GPI-anchored cell surface glycoprotein associating with lipid raft components and functioning as a signaling molecule. CD230 / PrP plays a role in apoptosis in a cell context-dependent manner, is involved in proliferation of epithelial cells and in distribution of junction-associated proteins in human enterocytes. Conversion of this normal cellular prion protein (PrPc) into an abnormal conformer (PrPSc) is the crucial step associated with triggering the pathogenesis of the prion neurodegenerative disorders, such as the Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD). Whereas PrPc is rich in alpha-helices, the PrPSc form has higher content of beta-sheets and is resistant to proteinase K. |
