Description_x000D_ Specificity_x000D_ Reacts specifically with the α2 subunit of the DHP receptor. Strong reactivity is observed with the α2 subunit in rat, mouse, guinea pig, rabbit skeletal and cardiac muscle, and rat brain and lung tissue. Weaker reactivity is observed with rat kidney, liver and spleen tissues. By immunohistochemistry, double rows of discrete punctate staining represent pairs of triads on the opposing sides of the Z-lines._x000D_ Immunogen_x000D_ Rabbit dihydropyridine (DHP) receptors, (α2 subunit)_x000D_ Application_x000D_ Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below._x000D_ Western Blotting (1 paper)_x000D_ Use of this antibody for immunoblot analysis will allow for detection of a 220 kDa band (native conditions) or a 143 kDa band (denaturing conditions).Use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry of muscle tissue will demonstrate double rows of discrete punctate staining representing pairs of triads on the opposing sides of the Z-lines are observed._x000D_ Physical form_x000D_ Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.05% 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_ Other Notes_x000D_ This mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody is supplied as a mouse ascites diluted in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.05% sodium azide as a preservative.
