General Notes
This product (Catalog No. DPABH-09178) is a rabbit-derived polyclonal antibody raised against human ELAVL2, targeting the amino acid region 5–346 of the protein. This antibody exhibits cross-reactivity with Human ELAVL2 from mouse and rat. It has been affinity purified by Protein A. The ELAV (embryonic lethal abnormal visual system) gene of D. Melanogaste is the the first identified member of a family of neuronal RNA binding proteins that is conserved in metazoans. The proteins in this family contain three RNA Recognition Motifs (RRM), with a hinge region separating the second and third RRMs and an optional non-conserved N-terminal region. The hinge includes signals essential for nuclear export and subcellular localization [PMID:9874760]. Elav is expressed specifically in the neurons and is required for the correct development and maintenance of the nervous system. ELAVL2 can binds RNA, and recognize a GAAA motif. In addition, it can bind to its own 3'-UTR, the FOS 3'-UTR and the ID 3'-UTR[PMID:18715504,21695151].
DPABH-09178 is suitable for use in Western blot (WB) (1:5,000–1:50,000), IP (0.5-4.0 μg for 1.0-3.0 mg of total protein lysate), IHC (1:20–1:200) applications.
DPABH-09178 is supplied as a liquid formulation in PBS with 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol, pH 7.3. For long-term storage, keep at −20 °C. For short-term use, store at 2–8 °C. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain antibody integrity and performance.
