MaxLight™490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm); Emission (515nm); Extinction Coefficient 73,000.
Specifically Recognizes an epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of endothelin B receptor (ET-B), a widely distributed transmembrane protein and member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family, which acts as a non-specific receptor for endothelin 1, 2, and 3, and mediates its action by G protein association and activation of a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.
Recognizes epitopes on the cytoplasmic side of the receptor and therefore the cell membrane must be permeable to the antibody. Does not block the binding of endothelins
Applications
