Anti-Mitochondria Antibody (C15-1316-109)

General description

Presenilin 1 is a protein found in brain cells. Presenilin 1 has a major influence on the risk of contracting alzheimer′s disease. Its function is unknown. However, it may be involved in protein production and trafficking, especially during early development. More than 40 different mutations have been found in the presenilin 1 gene, and these mutations associate with early-onset familial alzheimer′s disease. Mutations in presenilin 1 tend to elevate levels of amyloid beta in the blood, cerebrospinal fluid, and brains of those affected by mutations

Specificity

Mitochondria. Recognizes a 62 kD protein of immunoblots of subcellular fractions enriched in mitochondrial fractions.



The antibody shows a moderate titer by ELISA to the immunogen peptide but does not immunoblot any expected presenilin 1 bands. Immunocytochemistry with the serum revealed a mitochondria-like staining that was still present after exhaustive preabsorption with the peptide. The staining co-localizes with CHEMICON′s anti-mitochondria antibody MAB1273.

Immunogen

Presenilin 1 peptide conjugated to KLH.

Application

Anti-Mitochondria Antibody is an antibody against Mitochondria for use in WB & IC.

Immunoblotting: 1:500-1:1000

Immunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:300 on COS7, HeLa, 293 and SK-N-MC cell lines.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
