Rabbit Anti-SGCA, ID (SGCA, ADL, DAG2, Alpha-sarcoglycan, 50kD dystrophin-associated glycoprotein, Adhalin, Dystroglycan-2) (PE)
SGCA, ADL, DAG2, Alpha-sarcoglycan, 50kD dystrophin-associated glycoprotein, Adhalin, Dystroglycan-2

This gene encodes a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex (DGC), which is critical to the stability of muscle fiber membranes and to the linking of the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. Its expression is thought to be restricted to striated muscle. Mutations in this gene result in type 2D autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot and FLISA. Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilutions
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: PE conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
