AHP1544 recognises rat amyloid precursor protein (APP), a type I integral membrane protein with a relatively large extracellular domain and a short intracellular domain. In mammals, APP is expressed ubiquitously. Its function is poorly understood, but the overall structure suggests a function as a receptor or growth factor, even though it has also been implicated in pro- and anti-apoptotic functions. Its most substantiated function is in synaptic formation and repair. APP is most commonly studied as the precursor molecule of amyloid beta, a 39 – 42 amino acid peptide that precipitates in the plaques of patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
APP also inhibits Notch signaling through it’s interaction with Numb.

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
AHP1544 detects a band of approximately 115kDa in rat hippocampal lysate.
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
12 months from date of despatch.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to APP were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
