Clathrin, Heavy Chain
Description:
Clathrin-coated pits, intracellular transport vesicles involved in endocytosis and other membrane trafficking processes, are multi-component units. (1,2). Clathrin, the most abundant protein in these vesicles, is formed of a basic assembly unit called a triskelion composed of three clathrin heavy chains and three clathrin light chains. Together with other coat components such as AP2, epsin and EPS15, triskelia are targeted to appropriate membrane fusion sites, where subsequent invagination, cargo protein uptake and vesicle internalization occurs (3,4).

Applications:
Suitable for use in Immunofluorescence, ELISA, Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000
Immunofluorescence (IF-IC): 1:400
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
