anti-CD230 / Prion protein antibody [EM-20]
anti-CD230 / Prion protein antibody [EM-20] for Western blot and Human
Developmental Biology antibody; Neuroscience antibody
Overview
| Product Description | Mouse Monoclonal antibody [EM-20] recognizes CD230 / Prion protein |
|---|---|
| Tested Reactivity | Hu |
| Tested Application | WB |
| Specificity | The clone EM-20 recognizes human prion protein (PrP). Diglycosylated form of PrP has ~ 40 kDa, monoglycosylated form ~ 30 kDa, and nonglycosylated form ~ 19-21 kDa. This antibody is suitable for discrimination between normal cellular prion protein (PrPc) and its conformationally changed form (PrPSc) prion protein. |

| Background | CD230 / Human prion protein (PrP), also known as PRNP, is a ubiquitously expressed GPI-anchored cell surface glycoprotein associating with lipid raft components and functioning as a signaling molecule. CD230 / PrP plays a role in apoptosis in a cell context-dependent manner, is involved in proliferation of epithelial cells and in distribution of junction-associated proteins in human enterocytes. Conversion of this normal cellular prion protein (PrPc) into an abnormal conformer (PrPSc) is the crucial step associated with triggering the pathogenesis of the prion neurodegenerative disorders, such as the Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD). Whereas PrPc is rich in alpha-helices, the PrPSc form has higher content of beta-sheets and is resistant to proteinase K. |
| Research Area | Developmental Biology antibody; Neuroscience antibody |
| Calculated MW | 9 kDa |
| PTM | The glycosylation pattern (the amount of mono-, di- and non-glycosylated forms or glycoforms) seems to differ in normal and CJD prion. Isoform 2 is sumoylated with SUMO1. |
