DTNB participates in maintaining membrane stability, signal transduction, and cytoskeletal anchoring in muscle and neuronal tissues. The DTNB antibody is widely used in muscle biology, neuroscience, and membrane research to study dystrophin-associated complexes and neuromuscular organization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDTNB is encoded by the DTNB gene located on human chromosome 2p16.2. The protein is approximately 628 amino acids in length and shares structural similarity with dystrobrevin alpha. DTNB localizes to the cytoplasmic face of the sarcolemma and interacts with dystrophin, syntrophins, and other adaptor proteins within the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which links the cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DTNB antibody detects a 70 kilodalton protein by western blot and reveals sarcolemmal and cytoplasmic localization under immunofluorescence microscopy. In skeletal muscle, DTNB contributes to stabilization of muscle fibers and transmission of mechanical force. In neurons, it participates in postsynaptic density organization and signal transduction, influencing synaptic plasticity and neurotransmission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDysfunction or loss of DTNB disrupts DGC integrity, leading to impaired muscle contractility and signaling abnormalities. Variants in DTNB have been associated with neuromuscular diseases, cognitive deficits, and cardiomyopathy. Through its scaffolding functions, DTNB regulates localization of signaling molecules such as nitric oxide synthase and kinases involved in muscle adaptation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of its role in linking the cytoskeleton to membrane signaling complexes, DTNB provides insights into muscular dystrophy mechanisms and synaptic organization.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eELISA:\u003c\/strong\u003e support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=DTNB - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=DTNB - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=DTNB - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/DTNB - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=DTNB+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047295082861,"sku":"FY12628","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_c3f753d7-bd84-4e63-92c6-7839a79c1d4b.jpg?v=1782237029","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/dtnb-antibody-dystrobrevin-beta-bha17135531","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
