SpecificityThis antibody has been shown to be specific for AP-1 Rat and human
Species ReactivityHuman, Rat
Immunogen DescriptionA synthetic peptide (IRLRELIRTIRTARTQAEER) corresponding to the amino acids 5-24 of human AP-1 complex subunit gamma-1 conjugated to diphtheria toxin has been used as the immunogen. The peptide is homologous with the corresponding sequence derived from AP-1 complex subunit gamma-1 protein in mouse, rat, dog and zebra fish.
Application DetailsIHC, WB. This antibody works in immunohistochemistry on frozen or wax embedded tissue. Antigen retrieval has been used in testing but may not be necessary. Typical working dilution: Light microscopy 1/500 to 1/2000 depending on tissue and detection method; Immunofluorescence 1/50 to 1/200; Western blotting 1/1000 to 1/4000 is recommended depending on detection method. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Alternative NamesAP-1 complex subunit gamma-1; Adapter-related protein complex 1 subunit gamma-1; Gamma1-adaptin; Adaptor protein complex AP-1 subunit gamma-1; Golgi adaptor HA1/AP1 adaptin subunit gamma-1; Clathrin assembly protein complex 1 gamma-1 large chain; AP1G1; ADTG; CLAPG1
Scientific BackgroundAdaptins are important components of clathrin-coated vesicles transporting ligand-receptor complexes from the plasma membrane or from the trans Golgi network to lysosomes. Together with medium and small subunits, adaptins form a heterotetrameric complex called an adaptor whose role is to promote the formation of clathrin-coated pits and vesicles and to recognise sorting signals within the cytosolic tails of transmembrane cargo molecules. Gamma-adaptin protein belongs to the adaptor protein complex 1 that plays a role in protein sorting in the late-Golgi/trans-Golgi network and/or endosomes. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus. Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle membrane.
Immunohistochemistry using DAB substrate showing intense staining in the rat airway epithelium using Rabbit antibody to AP-1 complex subunit gamma-1: whole serum (R-166-100) at a dilution of 1: 500. Secondary antibody was biotinylated goat and rabbit at a dilution of 1: 3000 followed by Vector ABC. This antigen has a similar distribution to clathrin, with which it associates.
