ZooMAb antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies.

Each ZooMAb antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

Specificity

Clone 9D14 is a ZooMAb rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Calponin-1. It targets an epitope within 13 amino acids from the C-terminal region.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 13 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human Calponin-1.

Application

Anti-Calponin 1, clone 9D14 ZooMAb, Cat. No. ZRB1146, is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody that specifically targets Calponin 1 and has been tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Calponin 1 in human skeletal muscle.

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

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

Target description

Calponin-1 (UniProt: P51911; also known as Basic calponin, Calponin H1 smooth muscle) is encoded by the CNN1 gene (Gene ID:1264) in human. Calponin is an actin filament-associated regulatory protein that is expressed in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells of vertebrates. Three isoforms of Calponin have been reported that inhibit actin-activated myosin ATPase activity and stabilize the actin cytoskeleton. Calponin 1 is specifically expressed in smooth muscle cells is involved in fine-tuning of smooth muscle contractility. Calponin 2 is found in multiple cell types, including developing smooth muscles and Calponin 3 is found in the neurons, astrocytes and glial cells. Calponin 1 can bind to actin, calmodulin, troponin C, and tropomyosin. Calponin-1 (and other calponins) has a calponin homology (CH) domain at its N-terminal (aa 28-131) that can function either as a part of actin-binding site or serve as a regulatory structure for actin-binding activity. It also has three calponin-like domains (aa 164-189; 204-229; and 243-268) next to the C-terminal region that are conserved in all calponins. The C-terminal segment varies among different calponins and has differentiated effects on weakening the binding of calponin to F-actin. Deletion of the C-terminal tail segment is shown to enhance the actin-binding and bundling activities of calponins. This ZooMAb recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.(Ref.: Liu, R., and Jin, J-P (2016). Gene 585(1); 143-153).

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose. Normal appearance is a coarse or translucent resin. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
