AHP2133 specifically recognises an epitope within the N-terminal (NT) region of human ERC1 (ELKS/Rab6-interacting/CAST family member 1), otherwise known as ELKS, a widely expressed member of the RIM-binding protein family, which can be recruited on Golgi membranes by RAB6A, and may be involved in Rab-6 regulated endosomes to Golgi transport.
ERC1 is as an essential regulatory subunit of the IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex, a key enzyme in activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB). ERC1 is highly expressed in the brain, testis and thyroid, and is implicated in the formation of the cytomatrix at the active zone (CAZ), believed to define the site of calcium-dependent exocytosis of neurotransmitters.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Western Blotting
AHP2133 detects a band of approximately 90kDa in human pancreas cell lysates.
Storage
Store at +4oC or at -20oC if preferred.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended.
This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
18 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antiserum to human ERC1 (NT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
