General description

PSD-95 is part of a multiprotein complex restricted to the post-synaptic membrane. It is believed to initiate NMDA receptor clustering on the post synaptic membrane. Its restricted expression makes it an excellent marker for post-synaptic membrane regions on neurons.

Specificity

Other species have not been tested.
Reacts with a protein of ~100 kDa, corresponding to the apparent molecular weight of PSD-95, on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of samples from rat, mouse and bovine. A slightly higher molecular weight band is also detected. In rat brain and mouse brain tissue extracts a band of ~75 kDa is also present.

Immunogen

Recombinant rat PSD-95.

Application

Anti-Post Synaptic Density Protein 95 Antibody, clone 6G6-1C9 detects level of Post Synaptic Density Protein 95 & has been published & validated for use in IC, IH & WB.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 6 months at -20°C in undiluted aliquots from date of receipt. Do not store below -20°C.
Handling Recommendations: Upon first thaw, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance. Note: Variabillity in freezer temperatures below -20°C may cause glycerol containing solutions to become frozen during storage.

Analysis Note

Control
Mouse brain, rat brain tissue.

Other Notes

Concentration: Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for the lot-specific concentration.

It is well known that NMDA receptors (NMDARs) can both induce neurotoxicity and promote neuronal survival under different circumstances. Recent studies show that such paradoxical responses are related to the receptor location: the former to the extrasynaptic and the latter
