Product Name 

Calpain 1 antibody - Domain IV

Product type 

Primary antibodies

Description 

Rabbit polyclonal to Calpain 1 - Domain IV

Immunogen 

Synthetic peptide based on Domain IV of the large subunit of Human Calpain 1.(Peptide available as ab41300.)

Reacts with 
(species key)

Hu, Ms, Rat

Specificity 

This antibody binds to reduced and non reduced Calpain 1. It reacts with Domain IV of Calpain 1, and detects both latent and aminoprocessed (activated) Calpain 1. It but does not cross react with the other calpain family members (Calpain 2, calpain 94, ncl 2, ncl 3, etc.).

We have a range of domain specific antibodies for this target. For a full list please see all Calpain 1 antibodies

Tested applications 
(see key)

Immunohistochemistry (PFA fixed), WB

Recommended dilutions
WB: 1/1000 - 1/5000. Detects a band of approximately 75 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 82 kDa). Dilution optimised using Chromogenic detection. Not yet tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Positive control 
(see definition)

Cell lysates from human chondrosarcoma.

Cellular localization 

Cytoplasmic. Cell membrane. Translocates to the plasma membrane upon Ca(2+) binding.

Relevance 

Mu Calpain, also known as Calpain I, and m calpain, also known as Calpain II, are intracellular, calcium dependent cysteine proteases. Mu calpain has a micromolar sensitivity (thus the mu) as compared to the millimolar calcium sensitivity of m calpain. The calpains have papain like activity, thus the -pain nomenclature. Both m calpain and mu calpain are ubiquitously expressed, and are countered by the endogenous calpain inhibitor, calpastatin. Other calpain family members (calpain 94, ncl2, ncl3, etc) have more limited tissue distribution, and perhaps different functions. The calpain family members consist of a common small subunit (Calpain 4), and a large variable subunit. It is not clear that all calpains contain a small subunit. Domains in the large subunit include the amino terminal domain I, the proteinase domain II, domain III, and the EF hand domain IV.

The calpains, are nonlysosomal, intracellular cysteine proteases. The mammalian calpains include ubiquitous, stomach specific, and muscle specific proteins. The ubiquitous enzymes consist of heterodimers with distinct large, catalytic subunits associated with a common small, regulatory subunit.
