General description

Families of adhesion molecules which share common carbohydrate domains do exist, despite the structural and functional diversity of these glycoproteins. These include the Ca2+-independent neural adhesion molecules (N-CAM), myelin associated glycoprotein (MAG) and L1. L1 is involved in neuron-neuron adhesion, neurite fasciculation, outgrowth of neurites, cerebellar granule cell migration, neurite outgrowth on Schwann cells and interactions among epithelial cells of intestinal crypts.

Immunogen

Epitope: Extracellular domain

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to the extracellular domain of human L1CAM.

Other Notes

Purified rabbit polyclonal in buffer containing 0.1 M Tris-Glycine (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl with 0.05% sodium azide.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in human brain tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 0.4 µg/mL of this antibody detected L1CAM in 10 µg of human brain tissue lysate.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the extracellular domain of L1CAM in addition antibody recognizes the full length form (~220 kDa) and the cleaved form (~140 kDa) of L1CAM.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.

Target description

~220 / 140 kDa observed. The full length protein and the cleaved form of L1CAM have been observed at ~220 kDa and ~140 kDa, respectively (Kalus, I., et al. (2003). The Journal of Biological Chemistry. 278(12):10381-10388). Uncharacterized band(s) may appear in some lysates.
