Anti Human ApoER2 Antibody Monoclonal, CyB-5G7
General information
| Cat. No. | :FNK-BML036 |
| Size | :50µg |
| Clone | :CyB-5G7 |
| Antigen | :Human |
| Host Animal | :Mouse |
| Cross Reactivity | :Human |
| Labeled | :Unlabeled |
| Preparation | :Produced in mice immunized with synthetic peptides, aa873-898 (EDPAPALKELFVLPGEPRSQLHQLPK), which is corresponding to the insert site of cytosolic domain of human apoE receptor 2 (apoER2). ApoER2 specific IgG was purified from mouse ascites fluid with a proteinA-Sepharose. |
| Formulation | :0.2 µm filtered PBS solution |
| Specificity | :This antibody has been selected for its ability to bind for human apoER2 expressed in CHO cells (ldl-A7). No cross-reactivity with human LDL receptor and VLDL receptor was confirmed (see ref. 1) |
| Application |
:Western Blot – This antibody can be used at 1.0 µg/mL for western blot analysis. :Histology – This antibody can be used as a 1st antibody for immunohistochemistry. Please see reference (1) for details. Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. |
| Immunogen | :synthetic peptide |
| Ig Type | :IgG2b |
| Storage | :IgG in PBS solution are stable for twelve months from the date of receipt when stored at-80˚C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Antigen Characterization
| Type | :Recombinant protein |
| Application | :Western Blotting (WB), IP (Immunoprecipitation) |
| Species | :Human, Mouse, Rat |
| Recombinant | :Yes |
ApoER2 in the Cell
- Functions as a cell surface receptor for signal transduction and endocytosis
- Expressed in neurons' apical dendrites, cell bodies, and dendritic processes
- Participates in synaptic plasticity and long-term potentiation
- Interacts with proteins like Reelin, Apolipoprotein E, and Selenoprotein P
- Contains a unique cytoplasmic tail with a proline-rich insert
- Binds to PSD-95 and JIP-2, important for NMDA receptor signaling and JNK pathway modulation
ApoER2 in the Human Body
- Vital for brain development and function
- Regulates cortical lamination and neuronal migration during embryonic development
- Critical for learning and memory processes in the adult brain • Highly expressed in the neocortex, cerebellum, hippocampus, and olfactory bulb
- Found in non-neural tissues: placenta, testis, ovary, and platelets
- Essential for selenium transport to organs like the brain and testes
- Crucial for preventing neurodegeneration and maintaining male fertility
- Alterations in ApoER2 associated with neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease
