Myocilin Antibody (297823) [Unconjugated]

HEK293 cells transfected with Human MYOC (filled histogram) vs Irrelevant transfectant cells (open histogram) were stained with Mouse Anti-Human Myocilin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB34461), followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0101B). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).

Myocilin was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Human Skeletal Muscle using Mouse Anti-Human Myocilin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB34461) at 15 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to sarcoplasm in cardiomyocytes.

Background

Myocilin (also known as TIGR) is a variably glycosylated, 65 kDa, secreted polypeptide that belongs to the family of olfactomedin-related proteins. Human Myocilin is synthesized as a 490 aa precursor that contains an 18 aa signal sequence, an 84 aa N-terminus, a 53 aa alpha ‑helical leucine zipper and a 335 aa C-terminus that contains a 260 aa OLF-domain. An alternate start site generates a signal-sequenceless 504 aa mature protein. Myocilin forms nondisulfide-linked dimers and multimers. The human 32 kDa OLF-domain shares 87% aa sequence identity with the OLF-domain in bovine, rat, and mouse.

Limitations

This product is for research use only and is not approved for use in humans or in clinical diagnosis. Primary Antibodies are guaranteed for 1 year from date of receipt.
