Caldesmon / CAD Antibody HMW

• Catalog Number: orb386230
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Caldesmon (CAD, CALD, CALD1) is an actin- and myosin-binding protein implicated in the regulation of actomyosin interactions in smooth muscle and nonmuscle cells (could act as a bridge between myosin and actin filaments). [UniProt]
• Clonality: Recombinant
• Species/Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: Rabbit IgG, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human, Rat
• Immunogen: A full length human protein was used as the immunogen for the recombinant Caldesmon antibody.
• UniProt ID: Q05682
• Tested applications: IHC-P, WB
• Dilution range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml
• Application notes: Titering of the recombinant Caldesmon antibody may be required for optimal performance.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Clone Number: CALD1/1424R
• Formula: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Research Area: Epigenetics
• Note: For research use only

Western blot testing of human ovary tissue lysate using recombinant Caldesmon antibody (clone CALD1/1424R). Predicted molecular weight ~93 kDa, can be observed at 70-80 kDa (non muscle tissue) and 120-150 kDa (smooth muscle).
