Anti-DLG4 Antibody

The postsynaptic density (PSD) is an electron dense structure just beneath the postsynaptic membrane. Several functions have been proposed for the PSD including regulating receptor number and clustering, anchoring signal transduction molecules at the synapse and mediating adhesion between the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes. The most abundant PSD protein is the [alpha] subunit of the type II calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase ([alpha]CaMKII). This protein is likely to play a role in the calcium-mediated signal transduction at the synapse that mediates certain forms of synaptic plasticity. Another major PSD protein is PSD-95, a member of the guanylate kinase family (GUK) of proteins.

Recombinant rat PSD-95

Anti-Post Synaptic Density Protein 95 Antibody, clone 7E3-1B8 is an antibody against Post Synaptic Density Protein 95 for use in IC, IP & WB.

Immunocytochemistry:
A previous lot of this antibody was used in IC.

Immunoprecipitation:
A previous lot of this antibody was used in IP.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Reacts with recombinant rat PSD-95 and identifies a band at approximately ~100 kDa, corresponding to PSD-95, on western blots of rat brain, mouse brain and bovine brain extracts. Also present in rat brain and mouse brain tissue extracts are bands of approximately 80 kDa and 50 kDa. PSD-95 is believed to initiate NMDA receptor clustering on the post synaptic membrane.
