Myelin Protein Zero (MPZ) Chicken Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	IF, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	Western Blot. Immunocytochemistry. Immunohistochemistry. Recommended Dilutions: 1/2000-1/5000 for Western Blots. 1/1000-1/2000 for Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry using 2% paraformaldehyde-fixed tissues or cells. Quality Control: The antibody was analyzed by Immunohistochemistry (at a dilution of 1/2000) using Fluorescein-labeled Goat anti-Chicken IgY (1/500 dilution, Cat.-No AP31795FC-N) as the secondary reagent.
Reactivity	Human, Mouse
Host	Chicken
Clonality	Polyclonal
Immunogen	Two antipeptide antibodies were generated in Chickens against sequences shared between the Mouse (NP_032649) and Human (NP_000521) gene products. Production: After repeated injections, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks. These IgY fractions were then affinity-purified using a peptide column, and the concentrations of the eluates adjusted to 0.2 mg/ml. Finally, equal volumes of both of these affinity purified anti-peptide antibodies were mixed, and the preparation was filter-sterilized.
Specificity	Recognizes P0 Myelin Protein.
Isotype	IgY
Formulation	10mM PBS, pH 7.2 containing 0.02% Sodium Azide as preservative. State: Aff - Purified State: Liquid purified (filter sterilized) IgY fraction.
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Affinity Chromatography using a peptide column.
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted in the dark at 2-8°C.
Gene Name	myelin protein zero
Database Link	Entrez Gene 17528 MouseEntrez Gene 4359 Human UniProt ID P25189
Background	Human Myelin Protein Zero (Po) is a 28,400 dalton protein (258 amino acids) found in myelin of the PNS, but not the CNS. Expressed in myelinating Schwann cells, Po serves as a homophilic adhesion molecule, allowing adjacent laminae of the myelin sheath to undergo compaction. Po is also a marker of a subpopulation of migrating neural crest cells. Mutations of the MPZ gene product in humans is responsible for Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1B neuropathies (HMSN1B).
Synonyms	Myelin P0 protein, Myelin protein zero, Myelin peripheral protein, MPP
Reference Data
Protein Families	Druggable Genome, Transmembrane
Protein Pathways	Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)
