Anti-Nephrin Antibody (C15-1318-049)

General description

Nephrin (NPHS1, NPHN), also known as is Renal glomerulus-specific cell adhesion receptor, is strongly expressed in renal glomeruli and is a member of the immunoglobulin family of cell adhesion molecules. Mutations in the Nephrin gene result in congenital nephrotic syndrome, an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by massive proteinuria in utero and nephrosis at birth. Renal glomeruli allow normal kidneys to filter plasma so that it is very pure. Nephrin is expressed in the podocyte slit-diaphragm of the renal glomeruli in a manner that suggests that Nephrin molecules homodimerize in an anti-parallel fashion similar to cadherin interactions in adherens junctions. Thus, Nephrin may constitute the entire extracellular structure of the slit-diaphragm.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human Nephrin.

Application

Detect Nephrin using this rabbit polyclonal antibody, Anti-Nephrin Antibody validated for use in western blotting, IHC & Immunofluorescence.

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: 1 µg/mL from a representative lot detected Nephrin in mouse kidney tissue.

Immunofluorescence Analysis: 10 µg/mL from a representative lot detected Nephrin in mouse kidney tissue.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blotting in mouse kidney tissue lysate.

Western Blotting Analysis: 1 µg/mL of this antibody detected Nephrin in 15 µg of mouse kidney tissue lysate.

Target description

~100 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands may appear in some lysate(s). Despite its calculated molecular weight of 135 kDa, Nephrin often migrates at a lower than expected size in SDS-PAGE.
