AHP2034 specifically recognises an epitope within the C-terminal (CT) region of human TAGLN (Transgelin), otherwise known as SM22-alpha, a shape change sensitive, actin cross-linking/gelling protein, and member of the calponin family, which plays a role in calcium interactions and contractile properties of the cell.
TAGLN is ubiquitously expressed by vascular and visceral smooth muscle, and an early marker of smooth muscle differentiation, and also overexpressed by senescent human fibroblasts. Studies have identified TAGLN as a novel tumor suppressor protein, which has a markedly reduced expression in colorectal cancer samples, and may serve as an important biomarker of malignancy.

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
AHP2034 detects a band of approximately 23kDa in human placenta, heart and testis 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 TAGLN (CT) was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography.
