General description
Caldesmon is a protein component of the thin filaments of smooth muscle myofibrils. It
is also localized in the stress fibers of fibroblasts. Caldesmon was identified as a
Ca2+/Calmodulin-binding protein with molecular weight of 120-150kDa (H-Caldesmon)
and 70-80kDa (L-Caldesmon). H-Caldesmon is the primary isoform in smooth muscle
while L-Caldesmon is most abundant in non-muscle cells. Caldesmon is capable of
binding two calmodulin molecules, one at either end of the protein. Additionally,
Caldesmon is an actin, myosin, and tropomyosin-binding protein. Human L-Caldesmon
is a protein of 538 amino acids with mobility of 80kDa. In vitro, L-Caldesmon inhibits
the actomyosin ATPase in an F-Actin-dependent manner. L-Caldesmon may play an
important function in motile processes such as secretion and organelle movement.

Western blot. Suggested blocking buffer is TBS-Tween with 2% BSA. Suggested dilution buffer is TBS-Tween with 0.05% sodium azide. Preferred gel percentage is 7% and/or 4-20% (or similar) gradient gel.
Immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin embedded tissue sections. Suggested fixation for frozen tissue sections is acetone fix for 6 minutes at room temperature. For formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections: microwave in 0.01M citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 8-10 minutes (note that all microwaves differ and adjustments may need to be made) follow with enzyme digestion (0.01% pronase for 10 mintues). Suggested blocking agent is fetal bovine serum. The antibody has also been used successfully on methyl-Carnoy fixed tissue.
Immunocytochemistry
Immunoprecipitation. Suggested extraction buffer is 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X-100, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% deoxycholic acid-NaCl and 0.5 mM PMSF. Final reaction volume is 1 mL and suggested capture agent is agarose conjugated anti-mouse IgG.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Human myometrium develops phasic contractions during labor. Phosphorylation of caldesmon (h-CaD) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK 1/2) has been implicated in development of these contractions, however the phospho-regulation of these proteins is yet to be examined during periods of

Synthetic grafts have been developed for vascular bypass surgery, however, the risks of thrombosis and neointimal hyperplasia still limit their use. Tissue engineering with the use of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) has shown promise in addressing these limitations. Here we

Expression of the regulatory contractile proteins, heavy caldesmon (h-caldesmon) and calponin was studied in human aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) during development and compared with the expression of alpha-SM-actin and smooth muscle-myosin heavy chain (SM-MHCs). For this study, novel monoclonal
