ANTI-GRP78 (GL-19), DEVELOPED IN RABBIT,

Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ GRP78/BiP is a Ca2+-binding molecular chaperone located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). It is a highly conserved protein._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-GRP78/BiP (GL-19) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:_x000D_ • western blotting_x000D_ • immunocytochemistry_x000D_ • immunohistochemistry_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_ Packaging_x000D_ 200 μL in glass bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ GRP78 (78-kDa glucose-regulated protein) is essential for cell viability. GRP78/BiP is induced by stress-inducing agents or by conditions that adversely affect endoplasmic reticulum(ER) function, including oxidative stress, chemical toxicity, Ca2+ ionophores, inhibition of the ER Ca2+ -ATPase, inhibitors of glycosylation and hypoxia. GRP78/BiP is critical for maintenance of Ca2+ homeostasis and the prevention of apoptosis. GRP78/BiP levels are reduced in Alzheimer′s disease brains and the decreased expression of GRP78/BiP is found associated with mis-sense mutations in presenilin-1 (PS-1).
