Specificity

Stargazin [Stargazin-like TARP (transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory protein)]. By Western blot the antibody recognizes bands at ~35 kDa and ~55 kDa on Triton soluble fraction of rat brain. The antibody reacts dominantly with TARP gamma-8 and weakly with gamma-3 and gamma-4. Stargazin is expressed strongly in the hippocampus and cerebellum.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -80°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. The antibody may be kept at 2-8°C for 1-3 weeks after thawing.
