Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E.coli-derived human PSD95 recombinant protein (Position: H581-L724). Human PSD95 shares 100% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with both mouse and rat PSD95. (reported region: H581-L724).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 100 kDa; calculated MW: 80495 MW
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: Flow Cytometry, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
Disks large homolog 4; Disks large homolog 4. DLG4 discs large homolog 4, also known as PSD95 or SAP-90, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DLG4 gene. It is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family. This gene is mapped to 17p13.1. DLG4 can heteromultimerize with another MAGUK protein, DLG2, and is recruited into NMDA receptor and potassium channel clusters. These two MAGUK proteins may interact at postsynaptic sites to form a multimeric scaffold for the clustering of receptors, ion channels, and associated signaling proteins. Overexpression of DLG4 in hippocampal neurons could drive maturation of glutamatergic synapses. DLG4 can orchestrate synaptic development and it has a role in synapse stabilization and plasticity. Ubiquitination of DLG4 through an MDM2-mediated pathway can regulate AMPA receptor surface expression during synaptic plasticity. Functional note: Interacts with the cytoplasmic tail of NMDA receptor subunits and shaker-type potassium channels. Required for synaptic plasticity associated with NMDA receptor signaling. Overexpression or depletion of DLG4 changes the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory synapses in hippocampal neurons. May reduce the amplitude of ASIC3 acid-evoked currents by retaining the channel intracellularly. May regulate the intracellular trafficking of ADR1B (By similarity). . Reported localization: Cell membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein . Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane, postsynaptic density . Cell projection, axon . Cell junction, synapse . High levels in postsynaptic density of neurons in the forebrain. Also in presynaptic region of inhibitory synapses formed by cerebellar basket cells on axon hillocks of Purkinje cells. Expression/tissue context: Brain.
