Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human Regucalcin, which shares 87.5% and 84.4% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Regucalcin, respectively.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 33 kDa, 43 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: IHC, 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
regucalcin. Regucalcin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RGN gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a highly conserved, calcium-binding protein, that is preferentially expressed in the liver and kidney. It may have an important role in calcium homeostasis. Studies in rat indicate that this protein may also play a role in aging, as it shows age-associated down-regulation. This gene is part of a gene cluster on chromosome Xp11.3-Xp11.23. Functional note: Gluconolactonase with low activity towards other sugar lactones, including gulonolactone and galactonolactone. Can also hydrolyze diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate and phenylacetate (in vitro). Calcium-binding protein. Modulates Ca (2+) signaling, and Ca (2+)-dependent cellular processes and enzyme activities (By similarity). . Reported localization: Cytoplasm.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cell Cycle: Researchers commonly examine how RGN relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cell Differentiation: Researchers commonly examine how RGN relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- G Protein Signaling: Researchers commonly examine how RGN relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative RGN levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of RGN across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
