| Dystrophin is a member of the spectrin/alpha-actinin family of actin binding, triple helix rod containing proteins. It is absent or greatly reduced in individuals withe the X-linked recessive Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy disorder, as well as in mice with the mdx, (murine muscular dystrophy) mutation. |

| Catalog # | D9910X |
| Applications | Suitable for use in Affinity Purification, Electron Microscopy, ELISA, Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. |
| Recommended Dilution | Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/Paraffin): 2-4ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT; Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 1mM EDTA, pH 8.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Note that 1mM EDTA, pH 8.0 is better than 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 for unmasking the epitope. |
| Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. |
| Positive Control | Skeletal muscle |
