Notes

ab243695 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Parvalbumin antibody [EPR13091] ab181086.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Parvalbumin sometimes referred to as PV is a calcium-binding protein approximately 12 kDa in size. It is recognized for its roles in muscle and neuronal tissues. Within the nervous system parvalbumin is prominently expressed in fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons while in muscle tissues it is present in fast-twitch muscle fibers. Other popular descriptors include anti PV and parvalbumins. These proteins play important roles in the regulation of cellular calcium levels.

Biological function summary

Parvalbumin helps modulate calcium ion concentration which is key in muscle relaxation and neurotransmission. It acts by buffering calcium ions and is not part of a larger protein complex. By impacting calcium transients parvalbumin affects processes like synaptic plasticity and the rapid contractions of muscle fibers. This is especially significant in the brain where rapid neuronal firing is needed and in muscles where quick recovery is essential.

Pathways

Parvalbumin is intimately linked with calcium signaling pathways as well as the regulation of muscle contraction. It ensures proper calcium ion homeostasis thereby aiding muscle relaxation after contraction. In the nervous system calbindin proteins parallel some of parvalbumin's functions participating in calcium ion buffering and modulation of neuron excitability. The balanced action of these proteins helps maintain cellular functions in both neurons and muscles.

Associated diseases and disorders

Insufficient parvalbumin expression may link to epilepsy and schizophrenia. Deficits in this protein could interfere with normal neurotransmission and muscle relaxation cycles. Parvalbumin deficiency influences neurotransmitter release affecting synaptic transmission which may exacerbate symptoms in these conditions. In disease mechanisms proteins such as calbindin may indirectly relate with parvalbumin showing similar patterns of dysregulation and compensating for its absence in calcium handling.
