D8B7_A647_AlphaIISpectrin_Antibody_1_121219
IHC staining of Alexa Fluor® 647 anti-Alpha-II Spectrin antibody (clone D8B7) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R., the tissue was incubated with 1 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

Description

The spectrins are a family of widely distributed cytoskeletal proteins which are involved in actin crosslinking. Spectrin α-chain heterodimerizes with tissue-specific β-chains. It is specifically expressed in nonerythrocytic cells. The protein has been implicated in other cellular functions including DNA repair and cell cycle regulation. Mutations in the gene are the cause of early infantile epileptic encephalopathy. Fodrin, a spectrin that seems to be involved in secretion, interacts with calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner and is thus a candidate for the calcium-dependent movement of the cytoskeleton at the membrane.

Application Notes

Clone D8B7 is a specific marker for human, rat and mouse alpha II spectrin or fodrin. In cerebellar cell cultures, it labels axons and periphery of cell bodies consistent with localization of fodrin (reviewed in Bennett, 1993; Goodman, 1995 & De Matteis, 2000)4, 6, 8. It does not cross-react with alpha I (erythroid) spectrin SH3 domain.

This antibody was developed against a recombinant alpha II spectrin (non-erythroid spectrin or fodrin) SH3 domain. It was subsequently purified via ammonium sulfate precipitation.

Reactivity to Drosophila was only verified with the purified format.
