Monoclonal Anti-beta1 and beta2-Adaptins antibody produced in mouse, clone 100/1, ascites fluid

Application

Monoclonal Anti-β1 and β2-Adaptins antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting and immunohistology.

Mouse monoclonal anti-β1 and β2-adaptins can be used for western blot (1:200) assays using rat brain extract. The antibody is also suitable for use in indirect immunofluorescence and microarray analyses. Furthermore, monoclonal anti-β1/β2-adaptins have been used for double staining methods to detect clathrin-coated regions of the plasma membrane in rat brain cells.

Immunofluorescence of MDCK cells fixed in methanol was performed using anti-AP1 at a dilution of 1:250 and also western blot at a dilution of 1:1000.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β1and β2 adaptins are highly homologous which suggests that the β -type adaptor chains may mediate the interaction of their adaptors with the highly conserved clathrin molecule. Monoclonal antibodies reacting specifically against adaptor proteins are useful tools for studies on the intracellular distribution and structural relationship of adaptor complexes.

Clathrin-coated vesicles facilitate the selective internalization of membrane receptors for lysosomal enzymes from the trans-Golgi network to a pre-lysosomal compartment. Besides clathrin, coated vesicle populations contain the adaptor complexes AP-1 and AP-2, also known as HA-I (HA1) adaptor and HA-II (HA2) adaptor or Assemble Protein 1 (AP1) and Assemble Protein 2 (AP2), respectively. These adaptor proteins mediate the interaction between clathrin and membrane components.

General description

Monoclonal Anti- β1 and β2-Adaptins (AP-1 & AP-2)(mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the 100/1 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Adaptins AP-1 and AP-2 are mapped to human chromosome 22q12.2 and 17q12, respectively. AP-1 adaptor consists of four subunits. It includes two large adaptins (one each of γ/α/δ/ε and β1−4 , one medium adaptin (μ1−4), and one small adaptin (ς1−4. Similarly, the AP-2 is made up of two 100-110 kDa polypeptides, termed α and β2 (formerly β) subunits, F2 , and s2 subunit. α and β2 subunits (α and β 2).

Immunogen

AP-2 adaptor protein from bovine brain.

Physical form

The antibody is provided as ascites fluid with 0.1% sodium azide as a preservative.
