bs-70426R

DATASHEET

Host: Rabbit

Target Protein: Coronin-1B (C-terminus)

Specificity: The antibody detects a 60 kDa* band corresponding to Coronin-1B on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human A431 and HeLa, mouse brain, and rabbit spleen fibroblasts. This sequence has high homology to the conserved site in rat and mouse coronin-1B, and less than 50% homology to similar regions in other coronins.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Isotype: IgG

Swiss Prot: Q9BR76

Source: Coronin-1B (C-terminus) synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponds to amino acids at the C-terminus of human coronin-1B.

Purification: Antigen Affinity purification

Storage Buffer: PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol

Storage: Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

Background:

Coronins are highly-conserved F-actin binding proteins that play important roles in lamellipodial protrusion during various types of cell motility. In yeast, coronins regulate cytoskeletal changes through inhibition of Arp2/3 complex. Human coronins have been classified in three subgroups type I (coronin-1A, -1B, -1C), type II (coronin-2A, -2B), and type III (coronin-7). These coronins have at least one large b-propeller region that mediates protein-protein interactions and type I and II coronins have coiled-coil regions involved in oligiomerization. Coronin-1B is ubiquitously expressed and localizes to the leading edge of cell protrusions in migrating fibroblasts. Both Coronin-1B and Coronin-1A interaction with Arp2/3 complex may be regulated by phosphorylation. PKC phosphorylates the N-terminus at Ser-2 , and this phosphorylation reduces interactions with Arp2/3 leading to diminshed cell motility.
