Description

General description

Polymerase I and transcript release factor (PTRF), also known as “cavin-1,” is a small cytoplasmic protein, which interacts with caveolin-1 to assemble specialized membrane invaginations (or caveolae), in various types of cells. Caveolae house specific proteins and lipids and play a central role in cell signaling and endocytosis. PTRF may also play a role in metabolism. Mice lacking functional PTRF are affected by hyperinsulinemia and glucose intolerance. In addition, PTRF may play a role in prostate cancer.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes the Coiled Coil domain of PTRF/cavin-1.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the Coiled Coil domain of human PTRF/cavin-1.

Application

Anti-PTRF/cavin-1 Antibody detects level of PTRF/cavin-1 & has been published & validated for use in Western Blotting, IHC(P).

Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected PTRF/cavin-1 in mouse cardiac tissue and mouse alveoli tissue.

Quality

Evaluated by Western Blot in human lung tissue lysate.

Western Blot Analysis: 1 mg/mL of this antibody detected PTRF/cavin-1 in 10 mg of human lung tissue lysate.

Target description

~60 kDa, ~43 kDa observed. Three isoforms at 43 kDa, 33 kDa, and 23 kDa are known to exist. This protein was observed at ~60 kDa by an independent laboratory due to post-translational modification (Hill, M. M., et al. (2008). Cell. 132(1):113-124.).

Other Notes

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