alpha Adaptin Antibody (AP6)

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: alpha Adaptin Antibody (AP6) [NB600-1545] - alpha Adaptin (green), F-Actin staining with Phalloidin (red) and nuclei with DAPI (blue) is shown. Cells were grown on chamber slides and fixed with formaldehyde prior to staining. Cells were probed without (control) or with an antibody recognizing alpha Adaptin at a dilution of 1:20 over night at 4C, washed with PBS and incubated with a DyLight-488 conjugated.

alpha Adaptin Antibody (AP6) Summary

• Immunogen: Purified adaptors.
• Localization: Cytoplasmic
• Specificity: Detects assembly polypeptide 2 (AP2) It recognizes the products of both alpha-adaptin genes, alpha A and alpha C as well as an alternatively spliced isoform of alpha A found in neurons.
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: AP2A1
• Purity: Immunogen affinity purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Western Blot 1:200
  • Blocking/Neutralizing 50 - 200 molar excess
  • Flow Cytometry 1 ug / 10^6 cells
  • Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence 1 - 2 ug/ml
  • Immunohistochemistry 1:10 - 1:500
  • Immunoprecipitation 1:10 - 1:500
• Application Notes: WB: Detects an approx. 100 kDa doublet representing the two isoforms of alpha-adaptin in rat brain, though alpha C is the dominant form seen. Microinjection of cells with this antibody results in variable blockade of endocytosis.

Reactivity Notes

Hamster reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 15923653). Please note that this antibody is reactive to Mouse and derived from the same host, Mouse. Additional Mouse on Mouse blocking steps may be required for IHC and ICC experiments. Please contact Technical Support for more information.
