ANTI-CALSEQUESTRIN-2

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Calsequestrin is a major Ca2+ binding protein in cardiac and skeletal muscle._x000D_ Calsequestrin-2 (55 kDa) is found in both sarcoplasmic reticulum′s (SR) terminal cisternae luminal space of both cardiac and in slow skeletal muscle cells. It is made of three domains each with negatively charged thioredoxin-like folds with a β-sheet surrounded by four α-helices._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 57-74 of rat calsequestrin-2, conjugated to KLH. This sequence is highly conserved in human and rat calsequestrin-2 (single amino acid substitution). This sequence is not found in calsequestrin-1._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-Calsequestrin-2 antibody has been used in immunoblotting, western blotting._x000D_ Anti-Calsequestrin-2 is suitable for western blot at a concentration of 0.5-1.0μg/mL using HEK-293T cells expressing human calsequestrin-2 and western blot at a concentration of 0.5-1.0μg/mL using extract of rat cardiac muscle (S1 fraction)_x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Over expression of cardiac calsequestrin (CASQ2) is associated with depressed cardiovascular function and hypertrophy. Mutations in CASQ2 are thought to be associated with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). It is a high-capacity, low-affinity Ca2+ binding glycoprotein, which functions as an internal Ca2+ store in the lumen of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).
