CLASP2 Rat Antibody [Clone ID: KT68]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	KT68
Applications	ICC, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1:1000 ICC: 1:200
Reactivity	Human, Rat, Mouse
Host	Rat
Immunogen	Clone KT68 was generated from a GST fusion protein containing the N-terminus of mouse CLASP2. This sequence is highly conserved in human and rat CLASP2, and has low homology to CLASP1.
Specificity	The antibody detects a 160 kDa* doublet corresponding to the molecular mass of CLASP2 on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human HeLa, mouse brain, and rat PC12 cells. The antibody also detects CLASP2 by immunocytochemistry in HeLa and A431 cells.
Formulation	PBS + 0.05% NaN3
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Protein G Purified
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Recommended that the undiluted antibody be aliquoted into smaller working volumes (10-30 uL/vial depending on usage) upon arrival and stored long term at -20° C or -80° C, while keeping a working aliquot stored at 4° C for short term. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. Stable for at least 1 year.
Predicted Protein Size	160
Database Link	UniProt ID O75122
Background	The microtubule (MT) plus-end is a crucial site for the regulation of MT dynamics and interactions by several groups of plus-end tracking proteins (+TIPs). These +TIPs form comet-like accumulations at the plus ends of MTs to regulate MT dynamics and interactions with organelles and macromolecular complexes. The +TIPs include diverse groups of proteins, such as motor and nonmotor proteins, MT polymerases and depolymerases as well as various regulatory and adaptor proteins. The CLIP-associated protein (CLASP) family includes CLASP1 and CLASP2 proteins, which are expressed as long (α) and short (β) isoforms. Thse +TIPs conatin an N-terminal TOG domain, multiple TOG-like domains, and a basic and serine-rich motif (SxIP). The TOG domain facilitates interaction with tubulin dimers, while the SxIP motif promotes interaciton with EB1 and MTs. A C-terminal domain is involved in interaction with CLIPs, as well as several other proteins. CLASPs are MT stabilizing fators that localize to mitotic spindles, kinetochores, and the midbody. CLASPs are important for cell division, and may regulate cell migration and neuronal growth cone motility.
Note	Protein G purified tissue culture supernatant.
