Scientific Data Images for Rat VAP-B Antibody

Detection of Rat VAP-B antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Rat VAP‑B by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of PC-12 rat adrenal pheochromocytoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Rat VAP-B Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7329) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). A specific band was detected for VAP-B at approximately 28 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
VAP-B antibody in Rat Brain by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-Fr).

VAP‑B in Rat Brain.

VAP-B was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of rat brain (medulla) using Mouse Anti-Rat VAP-B Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB7329) at 8 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to gigantocellular neurons. View our protocol for Fluorescent IHC Staining of Frozen Tissue Sections.

Background: VAP-B

Vesicle-associated membrane protein (VAMP)-associated protein B (VAP-B; also VAMP-B) is an ~30 kDa ubiquitously expressed type IV transmembrane protein belonging to the VAP family. It is found in endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi and other membranes as a homodimer or a heterodimer with VAP-A, probably associating through the transmembrane regions. Human VAP-B cDNA encodes a 222 amino acids (aa) cytoplasmic domain and a 21 aa C-terminal membrane anchor. Rat VAP-B shares 89% and 96% aa identity with mouse and human VAP-B, respectively. A soluble form can function as a ligand for EPH receptors. A human polymorphism of VAP-B, P56S, is found in three familial motor neuron diseases, notably the amylotrophic lateral sclerosis variant ALS8.
