Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: Calnexin Antibody - BSA Free [NB100-1974]

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: Calnexin Antibody - BSA Free [NB100-1974]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Calnexin Antibody [NB100-1974] - HeLa cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes and permeabilized in 0.05% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 minutes. The cells were incubated with (NB100-1974) at 1 ug/ml overnight at 4C and detected with an anti-rabbit DyLight 488 (Green) at a 1:1000 dilution for 60 minutes. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Cells were imaged using a 100X objective and digitally deconvolved.

Application Notes
In ICC/IF, endoplasmic reticulum staining was observed in HeLa cells. In Western Blot, a band is seen at ~ 90 kDa representing Calnexin. In IHC-P, staining was observed in the endoplasmic reticulum of mouse bladder tissue. Prior to immunostaining paraffin tissues, antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) is recommended. In Simple Western only 10 - 15 uL of the recommended dilution is used per data point. Separated by Size-Wes, Sally Sue/Peggy Sue.

Background: Calnexin

Calnexin is a calcium-binding protein which interacts with newly synthesized glycoproteins in ER for facilitating protein assembly and/or the retention within ER of unassembled protein subunits as well as incorrectly folded proteins thereby playing a key role in ER's quality control apparatus. The specificity of calnexin for glycoproteins is defined by a lectin site, which binds an early oligosaccharide intermediate on the folding glycoprotein. When associated with partial T-cell antigen receptor complexes which escape immature thymocytes's ER, calnexin regulates thymocyte maturation process and is also implicated in receptor-mediated endocytosis at synapses. MAPK3/ERK1 phosphorylates calnexin at Ser-565 leading to increased calnexin-ribosomal association and DHHC6 mediated calnexin palmitoylation leads to its preferential localization to perinuclear rough ER. Palmitoylation also facilitate calnexin association with RTC/ribosome-translocon complex that is essential to efficient folding of glycosylated proteins.
