Application

SH-SY5Y cell lysates were analyzed by western blot using rabbit anti-Amyloid Precursor Protein, C-Terminal as the primary antibody at a 1:500 dilution.

Rabbit Anti-Amyloid Precursor Protein, C-Terminal antibody has been used for immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemical analysis, immunohistochemical staining and western blot applications. The product can also be used for IHC (1:1,000) and microarray studies.

Biochem/physiol Actions

In transiently transfected cell lines, APP (amyloid precursor protein) regulates cell growth, motility, neurite outgrowth and cell survival. The intracellular C-terminus of APP acts as a transcriptional regulator and its amino acid domain serves as a regulator of its own intracellular sorting. Mutation of the gene leads to cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Accumulation of the cleavage products of APP, such as the β-amyloid peptide can cause Alzheimer′s disease.

General description

Amyloid precursor proteins (APPs) are transmembrane glycoproteins that are found in a wide range of tissues. APP is expressed in the brain. It is located on human chromosome 21. APPs have 3 main isoforms, namely, APP695, APP751 and APP770 that are derived from alternative splicing events in cells. Accumulation of the cleavage products of APP, such as the β-amyloid peptide, can cause Alzheimer′s disease.

The immunogen sequence is identical to rat and mouse APP₆₉₅ and in the APP isoforms APP₇₅₁ and APP₇₇₀. The antibody recognizes APP₆₉₅, APP₇₅₁ and APP₇₇₀.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal of human APP₆₉₅ conjugated to KLH.

Physical form

Supplied in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in "frostfree" freezers, is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use.
