Applications

Show applications key

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab3672 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application notes

ICC: 1/50 - 1/100.
ICC/IF: 1/600 (PMID 19059915).
IHC-Fr: 1/100.
WB: 1/1000. Detects a band of approximately ~60 kDa.

Target

Function

Acts as an intracellular estrogen-binding protein. May be involved in modulating cellular levels and biological functions of estrogens in the pancreas. May act as a chaperone that inhibits aggregation of misfolded proteins.

Tissue specificity

Highly expressed in pancreas (at protein level).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein disulfide isomerase family.
Contains 2 thioredoxin domains.

Post-translational
modifications

The disulfide-linked homodimer exhibits an enhanced chaperone activity.
Glycosylated.

Cellular localization

Endoplasmic reticulum lumen.

Secondary
HRP conjugated swine anti-rabbit antibody
developed using the ECL technique

Performed under reducing conditions.

Observed band size : 60 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)
Additional bands at : 36 kDa,48 kDa,58 kDa,75 kDa. We are unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.

Exposure time : 2 minutes

ab3672 at 1/400 staining mouse kidney tissue sections by IHC-P. The tissue was formladehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step was performed in citrate buffer. The tissue was incubated with the primary antibody for 30 minutes at 22°C and then an HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary.

ICC/IF image of ab3672 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 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 (ab3672, 1æg/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 1.43æM.
