General description
Alpha B-crystallin is a major structural protein in the vertebrate eye lens, but is also found in cardiac and skeletal muscles, kidney, and brain. Alpha B-crystallin is also found to be a component of Rosenthal fibers and a consistent tissue marker of epileptic foci. It occurs as large aggregates of up to 106 Da, composed of two proteins, αA- and αB-crystallin. The αA gene encodes a polypeptide of 173 residues, while αB-crystallin gene encodes a 175 residue polypeptide. αB-crystallin, like the small heat shock proteins (sHsp′s), is induced by heat or osmotic shock and is upregulated by stress. α-crystallin and the sHsp′s protect other proteins from heat-induced aggregation. The two other crystallin families, β and ɣ, are homologous to each other but not to the α-family or the sHsp′s.
Specificity
This antibody recognizes the N-terminus of alpha B-crystallin.
Immunogen
Epitope: N-terminus
KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the N-terminus human alpha B-crystallin.
Application
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Alpha-crystallin B chain in rat lens fiber tissue. A 1:2,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Alpha-crystallin B chain in strong rat lens fiber tissue (data not provided). A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Alpha-crystallin B chain in strong muscle fiber tissue (data also not provided). It is recommended to use a 1:2,000 dilution only for strong rat lens fiber tissue.

AlphaB-crystallin (αBC) is a small heat shock protein that is constitutively expressed by peripheral nervous system (PNS) axons and Schwann cells. To determine what role this crystallin plays after peripheral nerve damage, we found that loss of αBC impaired remyelination

Astrocytes are key players in CNS neuroinflammation and neuroregeneration that may help or hinder recovery, depending on the context of the injury. Although pro-inflammatory factors that promote astrocyte-mediated neurotoxicity have been shown to be secreted by reactive microglia, anti-inflammatory factors
