Specificity

Clone 1D4 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Neurogranin. It targets an epitope within 12 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 12 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Neurogranin.

Application

Anti-Neurogranin, clone 1D4 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1228, is a recombinant Rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically targets Neurogranin and has been tested for use in Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Neurogranin in human and mouse brain tissue lysate.

Immunofluorescence Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Neurogranin in mouse cerebral cortex tissue sections.

Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Neurogranin in human brain and mouse brain tissue sections.

Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user as specimens and experimental conditions may vary.

Target description

Neurogranin (UniProt: Q92686; also known as Ng, RC3) is encoded by the NRGN gene (Gene ID: 4900) in human. Neurogranin is abundantly expressed in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, and striatum. In neurons, it is found concentrated at dendritic spines. It acts as a third messenger and serves as a substrate for protein kinase C-mediated molecular cascades during synaptic development and remodeling. Its presence has been reported in mitochondrial membrane, post-synaptic membranes, and in the nucleus. Neurogranin binds to calmodulin in the absence of calcium. It contains an IQ domain (aa 26-347) and a collagen-like domain (aa 48-78). The IQ domain mediates its interaction with calmodulin and phosphatidic acid (PA). Neurogranin is intrinsically unstructured, however, upon binding with calmodulin, the IQ domain adopts a helical conformation. It is phosphorylated at serine 36 by protein kinase C and following phosphorylation neurogranin is unable to bind either calmodulin or PA, which can lead to decline in memory-associated functions. Higher levels of neurogranin have also been reported in brains of elderly and it is considered a factor in memory decline, independent of Alzheimer s disease. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
