Relevance 

Calbindin D28k is a member of a large family of intracellular calcium binding proteins, containing EF hand calcium binding motifs, and related to calmodulin and troponin C. The biological roles of Calbindin D28k include calcium regulation and calcium dependent signalling in neurons and during development. Decreases in Calbindin D28k abundance, or loss of Calbindin D28k immunoreactivity, is found in models of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, and in neurodegenerative diseases. Calbindin antibody is often used as a marker for cerebellum Purkinje cells.

ICC/IF image of ab25085 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab25085, 1ug/ml) overnight at +4øC. The secondary antibody (green)ÿwas Alexa Fluor© 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor© 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43uM.
