APP Antibody

APP Antibody

Catalog# :2136

Accumulation of the amyloid-beta peptide (alphabeta) in the cerebral cortex is a critical event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. The b-amyloid protein precursor (APP) is cleaved by beta-secretase, producing a soluble derivative of the protein and a membrane anchored 99-amino acid carboxy-terminal fragment (C99). The C99 fragment serves as substrate for g-secretase to generate the 4 kDa amyloid-beta peptide (alphabeta), which is deposited in the brains of all suffers of Alzheimer’s disease.

Source :APP antibody was raised against a peptide corresponding to amino acids 737 to 751 of human amyloid A4 protein precursor (APP) or 85 to 99 of the C99 fragment generated by b-secretase cleavage. The peptide sequences are identical to those of monkey, mouse, rat, chicken, and a variety of other species.
Purification : Affinity chromatography purified via peptide column
Clonality and Clone : This is a polyclonal antibody.
Host : APP antibody was raised in rabbit.
Please use anti-rabbit secondary antibodies.
Immunogen : Human APP (C-Terminus) Peptide (Cat. No. 2136P)
Application : APP antibody can be used for detection of APP and the C99 fragment by Western blot at 1 – 2 µg/ml.
Tested Application(s) : E, WB, IHC
Buffer : Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.
Blocking Peptide :Cat. No. 2136P - APP Peptide
Long-Term Storage : APP antibody can be stored at 4ºC, stable for one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
