Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Anti-CNPase antibody, Mouse monoclonal, (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the 11-5B hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from RBF/Dn mouse immunized with human 2α,3α-cyclic nucleotide 3α-phosphodiesterase. CNPase (2α,3α-cyclic nucleotide 3α-phosphodiesterase), also known as CNP, is a membrane-anchored enzyme within the myelin sheath. CNPase is primarily a heterodimer of approximately 94 kDa. The heterodimer consists of a varied proportion of CNPase isoforms CNP1 (46 kDa) and CNP2 (48 kDa)._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Human 2′,3′-cyclic nucleotide 3′-phosphodiesterase_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Anti-CNPase antibody, Mouse monoclonal has been used in immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide._x000D_ Disclaimer_x000D_ Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals._x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ CNPase (2α,3α-cyclic nucleotide 3α-phosphodiesterase), interacts with cytoskeletal proteins, cholesterol-rich cell membranes, nucleotides and various other proteins. Abnormalities in CNPase expression cause perturbations in myelin structure and are associated with neurological diseases such as schizophrenia and multiple sclerosis. It was shown that CNPase can bind Gag structural protein and prevent the assembly of HIV-1 particle, demonstrating the anti-viral activity of CNPase.
