    Specifications

  • Product Description Rabbit anti-Nicastrin, N-terminal Polyclonal Antibody (Unconjugated), suitable for WB, ICC.
  • Application(s) ICC, WB
  • Application Details WB and IP. Suggested concentration of 3-10 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human or mouse brain samples commonly prepared with reducing (50mM DTT), urea (2.3 M), SDS (1.5%) in 62.5 mM Tris-HCL pH 6.8 sample buffer (without boiling) heating to 50 C for 15 min. Unprocessed full length human Nicastrin is 709 amino acids, however this protein contains an N-terminal signal peptide which is considered to undergo cleavage during processing and transit to the cell plasma membrane, in addition the protein undergoes glycosylation to produce a glycoprotein of about 145 kDa apparent MW by SDS PAGE. Biosensis recommends that the optimal working dilution should be determined by the end user.

  • Scientific Background Nicastrin, a type 1 membrane glycoprotein, is an essential component of the gamma secretase complex which is critical for the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein and other membrane proteins. Nicastrin is widely expressed in different tissue types. This antibody detects all processed forms of Nicastrin.

    Images, Protocols & SDS

  • Western Immunoblotting with nicastrin N-terminal domain antibody (Catalog Number R-1686-500) of mouse and human Nicastrin protein in embryonic mouse brain and a human cell line (SHSY5Y). Membrane proteins were prepared and loaded as 20 µg protein per lane. Immunizing peptide absorption removed antibody reactivity.
