Huntingtin (HTT) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: HDC8A4]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	HDC8A4
Applications	IHC, IP, WB
Recommend Dilution	Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections. Immunoprecipitation. Western blot.
Reactivity	Human, Mouse, Rabbit
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Recombinant protein corresponding to amino acids 2703 - 2911 of huntingtin
Specificity	This antibody reacts with an epitope corresponding to the HDC region (2703 - 2911 amino acids) of the huntingtin protein. Clone HDC8A4 detects a 350KD band on western blots but also detects smaller degradation products of huntingtin. Clone HDC8A4 recognises both denatured and native huntingtin in human brain. The combined use of clone HDC8A4 (SM1662), HDB4E10 (SM1661) and HDA3E10 (SM1660) demonstrate that huntingtin is enriched in neuronal cells in the brain.
Formulation	PBS containing 0.09% Sodium Azide State: Purified State: Liquid purified IgG
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Affinity chromatography on Protein G
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	huntingtin
Database Link	Entrez Gene 3064 Human UniProt ID P42858
Background	Huntington's disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanding polyglutamine repeat in the huntingtin gene. HD is a mid-life onset autosomal dominant neurodegeneative disease that is characterized by psychiatric disorders, dementia, and involuntary movements (chorea), leading to death in 10-20 years. The HD gene product is widely expressed in human tissues, with the highest level of expression in the brain. The huntingtin gene product is expressed at similar levels in patients and controls, which suggests that the expansion of the polyglutamine repeat induces a toxic gain of function perhaps through interactions with other cellular proteins. Using yeast two-hybrid system, HAP1 (huntingtin associated protein 1) has been identified, that associates with huntingtin protein. The In vitro data suggest that the association between HAP1 and huntingtin is enhanced by increasing length of glutamine repeat.
Synonyms	Huntington Disease Protein, HD, IT15, HTT
