Gene Name: Calpain 3/CAPN3

Specificity:

Background: Calpain-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CAPN3 gene. Calpain, a heterodimer consisting of a large and a small subunit, is a major intracellular protease, although its function has not been well established. This gene encodes a muscle-specific member of the calpain large subunit family that specifically binds to titin. Mutations in this gene are associated with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies type 2A. Alternate promoters and alternative splicing result in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms and some variants are ubiquitously expressed.

Immunogen: E.coli-derived human Calpain 3/CAPN3 recombinant protein (Position: I42-D764). Human CAPN3 shares 93.5% and 94.2% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat CAPN3, respectively.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2 mg Na2HPO4.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.
