{"product_id":"anti-plectin-antibody-picoband-pb9430","title":"Anti-Plectin Antibody Picoband®","description":"Boster Bio Anti-Plectin Antibody Picoband® catalog # PB9430. Tested in IF, IHC, ICC, WB applications. This antibody reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat. The brand Picoband indicates this is a premium antibody that guarantees superior quality, high affinity, and strong signals with minimal background in Western blot applications. Only our best-performing antibodies are designated as Picoband, ensuring unmatched performance.\u003cp\u003ePlectin, known as PLEC, is a prominent member of an important family of structurally and in part functionally related proteins, termed plakins or cytolinkers, that are capable of interlinking different elements of the cytoskeleton. Plakins, with their multi-domain structure and enormous size, not only play crucial roles in maintaining cell and tissue integrity and orchestrating dynamic changes in cytoarchitecture and cell shape, but also serve as scaffolding platforms for the assembly, positioning, and regulation of signaling complexes. Plectin is expressed as several protein isoforms in a wide range of cell types and tissues from a single gene located on chromosome 8 in humans. The plectin gene locus in mouse on chromosome 15 has been analyzed in detail, revealing a genomic exon-intron organization with well over 40 exons spanning over 62 kb and an unusual 5' transcript complexity of plectin isoforms. Eleven exons (1-1j) have been identified that alternatively splice ly into a common exon 2 which is the first exon to encode plectin's highly conserved actin binding domain (ABD). Three additional exons (-1, 0a, and 0) splice into an alternative first coding exon (1c), and two additional exons (2alpha and 3alpha) are optionally spliced within the exons encoding the acting binding domain (exons 2-8). Analysis of the human locus has identified eight of the eleven alternative 5' exons found in mouse and rat; exons 1i, 1j and 1h have not been confirmed in human. Furthermore, isoforms lacking the central rod domain encoded by exon 31 have been detected in mouse, rat, and human. The short alternative amino-terminal sequences encoded by the different first exons the targeting of the various isoforms to distinct subcellular locations. As the expression of specific plectin isoforms was found to be dependent on cell type (tissue) and stage of development, it appears that each cell type (tissue) contains a unique set (proportion and composition) of plectin isoforms, as if custom-made for specific requirements of the particular cells. Concordantly, individual isoforms were found to carry out distinct and specific functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupplier\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBoster Bio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABMIUM evidence status\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABMIUM Verified™ collaborator-tested data\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCatalogue reference\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePB9430\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct category\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Antibodies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReactive species\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHuman, Mouse, Rat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTested applications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eELISA, Flow Cytometry, IF\/ICC, IHC, IHC-P, WB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAvailable conjugations\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnconjugated, Biotin, Cy3, Fluoro488, Fluoro550, Fluoro594, FITC, HRP, APC, PE, Fluoro647\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGene name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePLEC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProtein name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlectin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecificity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo cross reactivity with other proteins.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eImmunogen\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human Plectin, different from the related mouse sequence by one amino acid, and from the related rat sequence by two amino acids.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHost\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRabbit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClonality\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolyclonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIsotype\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRabbit IgG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePurification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImmunogen affinity purified.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStorage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStore at -20℃ for one year from date of receipt.
