Mouse Anti-Calmodulin (CALM, CAM, CAM1, CAM2, CAMB, CALML2, CAM3, CAMC, CAMIII)

Calmodulin is the archetype of the family of calcium-modulated proteins of which nearly 20 members have been found. Calmodulin contains 149 amino acids and has 4 calcium-binding domains. Its functions include roles in growth and the cell cycle as well as in signal transduction and the synthesis and release of neurotransmitters. Three calmodulin genes (CALM1, CALM2, and CALM3) map to chromosomes 14q24-q31, 2p21.1-p21.3, and 19q13.2-q13.3, respectively.

Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Handling
Store at -20˚C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4˚C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20˚C for long term. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Immunogen
Preparation of purified calmodulin from Dictyostelium discoideum conjugated to KLH.
Form
Ascites, supplied as a lyophilized powder. Reconstitution: 1.2% sodium acetate or neutral PBS. If 1ml of PBS is used, the antibody concentration will be 100ug/ml.
Specificity
Recognizes rat and chicken Calmodulin. No cross reactivity with other proteins.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
