Product DescriptionRabbit anti-DJ-1/PARK7 Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB.
Application(s)WB
Application DetailsWB and IHC. Suggested dilution of 1:5,000 is recommended for WB. DJ-1 is a soluble protein of 189 amino acids and detected with 23 kDa mobility by western blotting. The suggested dilution for IHC is 1:100. Detected astrocyte cytoplasmic labelling in human brain formaldehyde-treated tissue. Biosensis recommends that the optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundAutosomal recessive mutations in DJ-1 cause early-onset familial Parkinson's disease. DJ-1 is considered a redox-sensitive cytoplasmic protein found in brain as well as other cell types.
Western blotting for DJ-1 in extracts of primary cultured neurons. Samples resolved on 10% Tris-tricine gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane for blotting.
Immunohistochemistry of formaldehyde-fixed human brain, paraffin sections treated with anti-DJ-1 at 1:1000.
