Gene Symbol CALB2
Gene Full Name calbindin 2
Background This gene encodes an intracellular calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily. Members of this protein family have six EF-hand domains which bind calcium. This protein plays a role in diverse cellular functions, including message targeting and intracellular calcium buffering. It also functions as a modulator of neuronal excitability, and is a diagnostic marker for some human diseases, including Hirschsprung disease and some cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
Function Calretinin is a calcium-binding protein which is abundant in auditory neurons. [UniProt]
Calculated MW 32 kDa

  • ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody IHC-Fr image

    Immunohistochemistry: Frozen section of Rat hippocampus stained with ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody (green) at 1:1000 dilution and costained with ARG10725 anti-Parvalbumin antibody [3C9] (red) at 1:1000 dilution. (Sample preparation: Following transcardial perfusion of Rat with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45 µM, and free-floating sections were stained with the above antibodies.)

  • ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody IHC-Fr image

    Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections of adult Rat brain hippocampus (45 µM; fixed by transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde) was stained with ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody at 1:1000 (red), and co-stained with our rabbit anti-MeCP2 antibody (green). Calretinin labels a subset of hippocampal interneurons, which also express MeCP2 in the nucleus to give a yellow color.

  • ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody WB image

    Western blot: 1) parvalbumin, 2) calretinin, 3) calbindin recombinant proteins, and 4) Rat brain lysates was stained with ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody at 1:1000 dilution.

  • ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody WB image

    Western blot: Rat brain, Rat spinal cord, Mouse brain, Mouse spinal cord and Cow spinal cord lysates stained with ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody (green) at 1:1000 dilution. The same blot was simultaneously stained with Mouse mAb to alpha-nternexin (red) at 1:10000 dilution.

  • ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody IHC-Fr image

    Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections of adult Rat cortex was stained with ARG10680 anti-Calretinin antibody (red) and co-stained with Mouse anti-calbindin antibody (green). Each antibody specifically labels a subset of interneurons (i.e., calretinin-positive or calbindin-postive) that express each marker exclusively. Inset is a high-magnification image of the boxed area. Blue is DAPI staining that labels DNA.
