NT3 is a member of the neurotrophin family, that controls survival and differentiation of visceral and proprioceptive sensory neurons. NT3 is closely related to both NGF and BDNF. It may be involved in the maintenance of the adult nervous system, and may affect development of neurons in the embryo when it is expressed in human placenta. NT3-deficient mice generated by gene targeting display sevvere movement defects of the limbs. The mature peptide of this protein is identical in all mammals examined including human, pig, rat and mouse. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Brain and peripheral tissues. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the NGF-beta family

Hormone Sensitive Lipase (HSL) hydrolyzes stored triglycerides to free fatty acids in adipose tissue and heart. In steroidogenic tissues, HSL principally converts cholesteryl esters to free cholesterol for steroid hormone production (ref: SWISSPROT).

Neurotrophic factor that enhances survival and morphological differentiation of dopaminergic neurons and increases their high-affinity dopamine uptake (Ref: uniprot.org). ProGDNF is the unprocessed precursor molecule of mature GDNF and exists as homodimer.

Anti-LMNA Mouse T4 Antibody [clone: 4C4]

Supplier: Biosensis

Nicastrin, a type 1 membrane glycoprotein, is an essential component of the gamma secretase complex which is critical for the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein and other membrane proteins. Nicastrin is widely expressed in different tissue types. This antibody detects all processed forms of Nicastrin.

Presenilin-2 (PSEN2) is a multi-pass membrane protein and component of the gamma-secretase complex. Defects in PSEN2 are a cause of Alzheimer disease type 4 (AD4), an autosomal dominant Alzheimer disease. (Ref:SWISS-Prot).

Human Gastrin is a 101 amino acid hormone produced by G cells of the duodenum, stomach and pancreas. It stimulates secretion of hydrochloric acid by parietal cells of the stomach. Gastrin is also secreted into bloodstream.

The Lamin proteins are members of the intermediate filament protein family but are located inside the nucleus rather than in the cytoplasm (1). The lamins function as skeletal components tightly associated with the inner nuclear membrane. Originally the proteins of the nuclear cytoskeleton were named Lamin A, B and C, from top to bottom as visualized on SDS-PAGE gels. Subsequently it was found that Lamins A and C were coded for by a single gene (2), while the Lamin B band may contain two proteins encoded by two genes now called Lamin B1 and Lamin B2. Lamin A has a mass of about 74kDa while Lamin C is 65kDa. The Lamin A protein includes 98 amino acids missing from Lamin C, while Lamin C has a C-terminal 6 amino acid peptide not present in Lamin A. Apart from these regions Lamin A and C are identical so that antibodies raised against either protein are likely to cross react with the other, as is the case with this monoclonal. Lamin polymerization and depolymerization is regulated by phosphorylation by cyclin dependent protein kinase 1 (CDK1), the key component of "maturation promoting factor", the central regulator of cell division. Activity of this kinase increases during cell division and is responsible for the breakdown of the nuclear lamina. Mutations in the LMNA gene are associated with several serious human diseases, including Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, familial partial lipodystrophy, limb girdle muscular dystrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B1, and Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. This family of diseases belong to a larger group which are often referred to as Laminopathies, though some laminopathies are associated in defects in Lamin B1, B2 or one or other of the numerous nuclear lamina binding proteins. A truncated version of lamin A, commonly known as progerin, causes Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, a form of premature aging (3).

Anti-ACTA Mouse T4 Antibody [clone: 5J11]

Supplier: Biosensis

Autosomal dominant mutations in presenilin 2 are the second major cause of early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease. Presenilin 2 is a multi-transmembrane protein which undergoes endoprotelysis to form an N-terminal fragment of about 29 kDa and C-terminal fragment of about 22 kDa. Presenilin 2 forms the catalytic core of the gamma-secretase complex which cleaves type 1 transmembrane proteins including the amyloid precursor protein to generate the C-terminus of the amyloid beta peptide.

Fibrillarin is part of the small subunit processome complex, involved in the processing of pre-18S ribosomal RNA. Nop1p is the yeast homologue of fibrillarin. Fibrillarin/Nop1p is extraordinarily conserved, so that the yeast and human proteins are 67% identical, and the human protein can functionally replace the yeast protein. This means that suitably cross-reactive antibodies to Nop1p/fibrillarin such as this antibody can be used to reveal nucleoli and study fibrillarin/Nop1p in all eukaryotes and archea tested to date. This antibody is becoming widely used as a convenient marker for nucleoli in a wide variety of species.

The oligomeric form of Amyloid Beta peptide (Aβ, 1- 42) has been closely linked to Alzheimer’s Disease. Several ELISAs targeting Aβ have been developed; however, these ELISAs are known to cross-react with Amyloid Beta precursor protein (APP) and are poorly characterised against monomeric and oligomeric forms of the peptide.
