Synaptopodin, a prolin-rich actin-binding protein with 2 binding sites for actin, represents a new class of actin-binding proteins which has first been localized in podocytes and a subset of telencephalic postsynaptic densities. In human tissue synaptopodin has a molecular weight of 73.7kD and pI of 9.38 (calculated from sequence data), in mouse the corresponding data are 74kD, pI 9.27. In SDS-PAGE the antigen appears as 100kD polypeptide in brain and 110kD polypeptide in kidney (the difference might be attributed to posttranslational modifications). Applications: Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (Frozen): 1:5-1:10. Microwave treatment is reccommened. Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1:5-1:10 Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20C. Stable for 12 months at -20C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA, 0.09% sodium azide. Reconstitute with 1ml sterile ddH2O. For antibody in liquid format see 052507.
