This Anti-Aspa/Nur7 Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry for the detection of Aspa/Nur7.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected Aspa/Nur7-positive oligodendrocytes in corpus callosum/external capsule using free-floating mouse brain sections (Courtesy of Dr. John R. Moffett, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected Aspa/Nur7 in the cytosol, but not myelin, fraction from rat brain tissue homogenate (Madhavarao, C.N., et al. (2004). J Comp Neurol. 472(3):318-329).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected Aspa/Nur7 expression pattern in various regions of rat forebrain, including corpus callosum, cerebral cortex, hippocampal commissure (hc), fimbria, and anterior commissure (Madhavarao, C.N., et al. (2004). J Comp Neurol. 472(3):318-329).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected similar Aspa/Nur7 expression pattern as CC1 in various regions of rat forebrain, including the Purkinjie & axonal fiber layers of cerebellum, corpus callosum, as well as layer 2 of primary somatosensory cortex (Madhavarao, C.N., et al. (2004). J Comp Neurol. 472(3):318-329).

General description

Aspartoacylase (EC 3.5.1.15; UniProt Q8R3P0; also known as Acy-2, Aminoacylase-2, Nur-7) is encoded by the Aspa (also known as Acy2) gene (Gene ID 11484) in murine species. Aspartoacylase catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) to generate free acetate in the central nervous system (CNS). Mutations in the ASPA gene cause the autosomal recessive neurodegenerative Canavan disease (CD) that results in inadequate lipid/myelin synthesis during development. Immunohistochemical staining reveals that aspartoacylase colocalizes with the oligodendrocyte marker CC1 throughout the brain, indicating its role in myelination.
