Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody targets phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly protein (gene PICALM) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, flow cytometry and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 70.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 71 kDa.
PICALM (also called CALM) is a clathrin adaptor that works with AP-2 to assemble clathrin coats at the plasma membrane and to control the size of endocytic vesicles. It supports receptor internalization and synaptic vesicle recycling, and common variants near PICALM are well-established genetic risk loci for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Immunogen
Recombinant human PICALM fragment (Met1–Met652), expressed in E. coli.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly protein in the cell membrane, membrane, Golgi apparatus and nucleus. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in all tissues examined. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
