Application

Research CategoryNeuroscience

Research Sub CategoryNeurotransmitters & Receptors

Anti-Dopamine D3 Receptor Antibody, cytoplasmic domain detects level of Dopamine D3 Receptor & has been published & validated for use in ELISA, IH & WB.

Western blot: 1-10 µg/mL (Chemiluminescence technique; 45-50 kDa) Approximately 100-400 µg of membrane protein/lane should be loaded to visualize the receptor band. In some systems 70kDa bands may also be present.

Immunohistochemistry: suggested working concentration is 2-10 µg/mL. Suggested fixative is 4% PFA, fixation 10-15′, permeabilized with 0.3-0.5% triton X-100 for 10-15′ (tissue, less time for cels), primary antibody dilution is 1:100 for direct fluorescence . {Coronas, V, et al. J Neurochemistry 91:1292-1301, 2004},

ELISA: 0.5-1.0 µg/mL (1 µg/mL immunogen peptide (Catalog Number AG229)/well)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

Physical form

Affinity purified immunoglobulin. Liquid in PBS with 0.1% BSA.

Specificity

Specific for Dopamine Receptor D3. Rat Dopamine D3 receptor is a 446 aa, G-protein coupled and transmembrane receptor protein (Giros et al. 1990, 1991; Schmauss et al. 1993; Liu et al. 1994; Fu et al. 1995; Sokoloff et al. 1990; Livingstone et al. 1992). The immunogen peptide shows no significant homology with other dopamine receptors (D1, D2, D4 or D5).

SPECIES REACTIVITIES: The immunogen peptide shows sequence homology of 88% with mouse and 63% with human/monkey (12/19 aa) D3 receptors (Giros et al. 1990, 1991; Schmauss et al. 1993; Liu et al. 1994; Fu et al. 1995; Sokoloff et al. 1990; Livingstone et al. 1992). Antibody cross-reactivity with various species is not known.

Storage and Stability

Maintain at -20°C in undiluted aliquots for up to 6 months after date of receipt. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
