Invitrogen™ Calnexin Monoclonal Antibody (AF18), Alexa Fluor™ 555

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ MA3027A555

Catalog No. PIMA3027AZ

Description

MA3027A555 detects calnexin from human and mouse tissues. The MA3027A555 antigen is Focus human hepatoma cell lysate.

Calnexin, also referred to as IP90, p88 and p90, is an approximately 90 kDa integral membrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Many resident ER proteins act as molecular chaperones and participate in the proper folding of polypeptides and their assembly into multisubunit proteins. Studies indicate that calnexin associates with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I heavy chains, partial complexes of the T cell receptor and B cell membrane immunoglobulin, but not with completed receptor complexes. It has been shown that calnexin is a chaperone that retains incompletely or improperly folded proteins in the ER. The sequence Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu (KDEL) or a closely related sequence, is present at the carboxy-terminus of soluble ER resident proteins such as GRP78 and GRP94 and protein disulfide isomerase. Integral membrane ER resident proteins, like calnexin, often lack this KDEL sequence but contain positively charged cytosolic residues that ensure ER retention. Calnexin contains a large ER luminal domain (461 amino acids), a transmembrane segment (22 amino acids), and a cytoplasmic tail (89 amino acids).
