Scientific Data Images for Parvalbumin Antibody (3C9)

Western Blot: Parvalbumin Antibody (3C9) [NBP2-50038]

Western Blot: Parvalbumin Antibody (3C9) [NBP2-50038]

Western Blot: Parvalbumin Antibody (3C9) [NBP2-50038] - Analysis of skeletal muscle lysates and His-tagged recombinant proteins using mouse parvalbumin mAb, dilution 1:1,000 (Green): [1] protein standard (Red), [2] mouse muscle, [3] full length human parvalbumin, [4] full length human calretinin, and [5] full length human calbindin. A band at 12kDa is detected in in muscle lysate and one at 18kDa in the His-tagged recombinant parvalbumin protein lane as expected since the His-tag and other vector derived sequence adds about 6kDa to the molecule. Note that the parvalbumin antibody is not cross-reactive with either calbindin or calretinin despite their related amino acid sequences.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Parvalbumin Antibody (3C9) [NBP2-50038] - Analysis of rat cerebellum section stained with mouse mAb to parvalbumin, NBP2-50038, dilution 1:1,000, in green, and costained with chicken pAb to calbindin, dilution 1:2,000 in red. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. Following transcardial perfusion of rat with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45 uM, and free-floating sections were stained with above antibodies. Most Purkinje cells strongly express both parvalbumin and calbindin and so appear yellow, whereas basket, stellate and Golgi cells express parvalbumin alone and so appear are green.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Parvalbumin Antibody (3C9) [NBP2-50038] - Adult rat cerebellum floating section was stained with NBP2-50038 at 1:1,000 (green). Parvalbumin is prominently expressed in the dendrites and perikarya of Purkinje cells and some interneurons in the molecular layer. Blue is a DNA stain.

Background: Parvalbumin

Parvalbumin is encoded by this gene is a high affinity calcium ion-binding protein that is structurally and functionally similar to calmodulin and troponin C. The encoded protein is thought to be involved in muscle relaxation.
