Calmodulin (CaM), a small 17 kDa ubiquitous Ca2+-binding protein acts as an intracellular Ca2+ receptor and transduces Ca2+ transients, usually in response to growth factors. It mediates the activity of a number of Ca2+ regulating enzymes, including protein kinases, phosphatases, nitric oxide synthases, and phosphodiesterase.
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions
Western Blot: 1:5000. Detects a recombinant protein containing the calmodulin binding protein epitope tag in lysates from transformed E. coli. Lysates from E. coli transformed with a plasmid encoding a GST-CBP, calmodulin binding protein epitope tagged. Proteins were resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with C1035-09. Proteins were visualized using a goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and a chemiluminescence detection system. Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Recommended Secondary Antibodies
I1904-39: IgG, X-Adsorbed (HRP) Pab Gt xRb I1904-40A: IgG, H&L, X-Adsorbed (HRP) Pab Gt xRb I1904-46Q: IgG, H&L (HRP) Pab Gt xRb
