Product type
Primary Antibody
TargetCaldesmon
ApplicationsWB, IHC, IF, ELISA
Species / reactivityHuman, Mouse, Rat
Expression systemHigh-molecular-weight caldesmon (isoform 1) is predominantly expressed in smooth muscles, whereas low-molecular-weight caldesmon (isoforms 2, 3, 4 and 5) are widely distributed in non-muscle tissues and cells. Not expressed in skeletal muscle or heart.
PurityThe antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen.

Product description

Caldesmon rabbit pAb is a research-use antibody from ELK Biotechnology for studying Caldesmon in WB, IHC, IF, ELISA workflows with listed reactivity for Human, Mouse, Rat. Specifications and supporting documents below should be reviewed when planning the experiment.

Background

This gene encodes a calmodulin- and actin-binding protein that plays an essential role in the regulation of smooth muscle and nonmuscle contraction. The conserved domain of this protein possesses the binding activities to Ca(2+)-calmodulin, actin, tropomyosin, myosin, and phospholipids. This protein is a potent inhibitor of the actin-tropomyosin activated myosin MgATPase, and serves as a mediating factor for Ca(2+)-dependent inhibition of smooth muscle contraction. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
