|---|---|
| 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 |

ARG10704 anti-Calretinin antibody IHC-Fr image
Immunohistochemistry: Frozen section of Rat cerebellum stained with ARG10704 anti-Calretinin antibody (red) at 1:5000 dilution and costained with Mouse mAb to calbindin (green) 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.)
The calretinin antibody stains interneurons predominantly in the molecular layer, while the calbindin antibody strongly labels the dendrites and perikarya of Purkinje cells in the molecular layer of the cerebellum.

Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections of adult Mouse brain (45 µM; fixed by transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde) across motor cortex was co-stained with ARG10704 anti-Calretinin antibody (red) and a Mouse monoclonal 1B7 to Fox3 / NeuN (green).

Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections of adult Mouse brain across visual cortex was stained with ARG10704 anti-Calretinin antibody (red) and co-stained with our chicken polyclonal antibody to calbindin (green). Calretinin and calbindin label different population of neurons in the brain. As a result, most cells were stained with one of the two antibodies and appear to be either red or green. However in visual cortex, a few cells express both proteins and appear to be yellow.

Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections of adult Rat brain (45 µM; fixed by transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde) across hippocampal CA1 region was stained with ARG10704 anti-Calretinin antibody (red) and our Mouse monoclonal 3C9 to parvalbumin (green). The two antibodies stain distinct subsets of interneurons in the pyramidal layer and the positively labeled cells appear to be either red or green. Blue is a Hoechst staining that labels DNA.
