CALB1 Antibody / Calbindin

SKU: orb639817

Description

The family of EF-hand type Ca2+-binding proteins includes Calbindin D28K, Calbindin D9K, S-100 and , Calgranulin A (also designated MRP8), Calgranulin B (also designated MRP14), Calgranulin C and the Parvalbumin family members, including Parvalbumin and Parvalbumin (also designated oncomodulin). Calbindin D28K, also known as calbindin, CALB1, D-28K or vitamin D-dependent calcium-binding protein, is a 261-amino acid protein with 6 EF-hand domains, 4 of which are active calcium-binding domains. Expressed in brain, ovary, uterus, testis, pancreas, liver, kidney and intestine, Calbindin D28K acts as a calcium-buffering agent and alters the activity of the plasma membrane ATPase. In neuronal cells, Calbindin D28K modulates calcium channel activity, calcium transients and intrinsic neuronal firing activity. Also, Calbindin D28K has been implicated to play a role in apoptosis and microtubule function.

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19000 full-length human proteins using CALB1 antibody (clone CALB1/3333). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the CALB1/3333 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
