AHP1631T is specific for isoform A of the B cell receptor-associated protein 29 (BAP29), a multi pass membrane protein belonging to BCAP29/BCAP31 family.
BAP29 and the related protein BAP31 are endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ER-vesicle membrane proteins that are highly homologous forming both homo- and heterodimers. BAP29 and BAP31 interact with membrane-bound immunoglobulins (mIgs), such as IgM and IgD, which with Ig-a/Ig-ß heterodimers form B cell antigen receptors. Binding of the BAP29/BAP31 heterodimer correlates with the ER retention of non-Ig-a/Ig-ß bound mIg complexes, indicating that BAP29 and BAP31 may act as chaperones to transmembrane regions of various proteins.

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
AHP1631T detects a band of approximately 26kDa in human heart tissue 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 BAP29 (C-Terminal) was raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
