Caldesmon/CALD1 Antibody (h-CALD) - IHC-Prediluted Summary

• Immunogen: Crude human uterus extract
• Localization: Cytoplasmic
• Marker: Smooth Muscle Marker
• Specificity: Recognizes a protein of 150kDa, which is identified as the high molecular weight variant of Caldesmon. Two closely related variants of human caldesmon have been identified which are different in their electrophoretic mobility and cellular distribution. The h-caldesmon variant (120-150kDa) is predominantly expressed in smooth muscle whereas l-caldesmon (70-80kDa) is found in non- muscle tissue and cells. Neither of the two variants has been detected in skeletal muscle. This MAb recognizes only the 150kDa variant (h-caldesmon) in Western blots of human aortic media extracts and is unreactive with fibroblast extracts from cultivated human foreskin. Caldesmon is a developmentally regulated protein involved in smooth muscle and non-muscle contraction.
• Isotype: IgG1 Kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: CALD1
• Purity: Protein A or G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin
• Application Notes: Hu-chromosome location: 7q33 Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 0.25 - 0.5 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT; Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 10 - 20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. In Simple Western only 10-15 uL of the recommended dilution is used per data point.
• Theoretical MW: 150 kDa.
  Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.
