Whole cell extracts (15 µg total protein) from the indicated cell lines were resolved by 4-12% Bis-Tris gel electrophoresis, transferred to a PVDF membrane, and probed with 1 µg/mL Purified anti-Caldesmon (clone W22071A) overnight at 4°C. Proteins were visualized by chemiluminescence detection using HRP Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405405) at a 1:3000 dilution. Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-GAPDH (Cat. No. 607904) was used as a loading control at a 1:50000 dilution. Lane M: Molecular weight marker

    U-87 MG cells were fixed with Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801) for 10 minutes and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then stained with 5 µg/mL of Purified anti-Caldesmon (clone W22071A), followed by with Alexa Fluor® 594 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405422) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). The images were captured by a Revvity Operetta CLS™ High Content Analysis System with a 60X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

    IHC staining of Purified anti-Caldesmon (clone W22071A) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human uterus (positive tissue, panel A and C) and skeletal muscle (negative tissue, panel B and D). Following antigen retrieval using Citrate buffer, 10X (Cat. No. 420902), the tissue was incubated with 5 µg/mL of Purified anti-Caldesmon (clone W22071A) followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). Images were captured with a 10X (panel A and B) or 40X (panel C and D) objective. Scale bar: 50 µm

Description

Caldesmon is a calmodulin-, actin-, and tropomyosin-binding protein that plays an essential role in smooth muscle and non-muscle contraction. This protein is also involved in cellular mitosis and Schwann cell migration during peripheral nerve regeneration.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by western blotting. For western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.1 - 1.0 µg/mL. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.25 - 10.0 μg/mL is recommended. For immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration range of 1.0 - 10.0 µg/mL is suggested. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Application Notes

For immunohistochemistry (IHC-P), either Citrate Buffer, 10X (Cat. No, 420902) or Tris-EDTA pH 9.0 is recommended for antigen retrieval.

For immunocytochemistry (ICC), fixing with Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801) is recommended. Alternatively, 4% paraformaldehyde fixation followed by either permeabilization with 0.5% Triton X-100 or ice-cold methanol is recommended.

Clone W22071A cross-reacts with mouse in western blotting (WB).

Antigen Details

Structure
Caldesmon is a 793 amino acid protein with a predicted molecular mass of 93 kD
Distribution

Tissue distribution: high-molecular-weight Caldesmon (isoform 1) is predominantly expressed in smooth muscle; low-molecular-weight Caldesmon (isoforms 2, 3, 4 and 5) is widely distributed in non-muscle tissues and cells. Caldesmon is not expressed in skeletal muscle or heart.
Cellular distribution: cytoskeleton, cytosol, and plasma membrane.

Function
Regulates actomyosin interactions in smooth muscle and non-muscle cells which affects cell contractions; involved in cellular mitosis and in Schwann cell migration during peripheral nerve regeneration.
Interaction
Calmodulin, actin, and tropomyosin
Biology Area
Cell Biology, Cell Motility/Cytoskeleton/Structure
Molecular Family
