AlphaB Crystallin/CRYAB Antibody [DyLight 488] Summary

• Immunogen: A synthetic peptide made to a C-terminal region of the human Crystallin AB protein (within residues 100-175). [Swiss-Prot P02511]
• Predicted Species: Mouse (92%), Rat (100%), Porcine (100%), Bovine (100%), Rabbit (100%), Hamster (100%), Sheep (100%), Primate (100%). Backed by our 100% Guarantee.
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Host: Rabbit
• Gene: CRYAB
• Purity: Immunogen affinity purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • ELISA
  • Flow Cytometry
  • Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence
  • Western Blot
• Application Notes: This Crystallin AB antibody is useful for Western blot analysis, where a band is seen at ~20 kDa. There is also a band of greater intensity at ~40 kDa that may be an aggregated heteromeric complex. **CryAB aggregates with homologous proteins, including CryAA and the small heat shock protein HSP28, to form large heteromeric complexes.

Reactivity Notes

Predicted to react with rat, sheep, rabbit, monkey, hamster, cow, and pig based on 100% sequence homology. Immunogen sequence has 92% homology to mouse. Mouse reactivity reported in scientific literature (PMID: 23586607).

Packaging, Storage & Formulations

• Storage: Store at 4C in the dark.
• Buffer: 50mM Sodium Borate

Background

Crystallin AB (CryAB) is a developmentally regulated small heat shock protein known to protect cells from stress damage. It may also play an important role in the Golgi reorganization during cell division. CryAB is known to be associated with a number of neurodegenerative pathologies such as Alzheimer disease amd multiple sclerosis. As well, it has been found to be expressed in breast tumors of patients with shorter survival, suggesting that it may be a useful marker in identifying aggressive breast cancer.
