Application Instructions

Application Suggestion
Tested Application Dilution
WB1:1000
Application Note Specific for the ~36k stargazin protein. Immunolabeling of the stargazin band is blocked by preadsorption with the peptide used as antigen.
* The dilutions indicate recommended starting dilutions and the optimal dilutions or concentrations should be determined by the scientist.

Properties

Form Liquid
Purification Affinity Purified
Buffer 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 0.1 mg/ml BSA and 50% Glycerol
Stabilizer 0.1 mg/ml BSA, 50% Glycerol
Storage Instruction For continuous use, store undiluted antibody at 2-8°C for up to a week. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Storage in frost free freezers is not recommended.

Bioinformation

Gene Symbol CACNG2
Gene Full Name calcium channel, voltage-dependent, gamma subunit 2
Background Stargazin is a member of the transmembrane AMPAR regulatory proteins (TARP) family and is involved in glutamate receptor trafficking. It has been recently demonstrated (Tomita et al., 2005; Priel et al., 2005) that the interaction between stargazin and AMPA receptors is critical for the correct localization of the receptors at the synapse. Phosphorylation of the stargazin protein at Thr 321 by Protein Kinase A regulates its interaction with PSD-95 and synaptic targeting of AMPA receptors (Choi et al., 2002).
Research Area Signaling Transduction antibody
Calculated MW 36 kDa
PTM Phosphorylation of Thr-321 impairs interaction with DLG1 and DLG4.
