AHP2044 recognises human Low density lipoprotein receptor related-protein 6 (LRP6), a 180.4 kDa single pass type 1 membrane protein belonging to the LDLR family.
LRP6 is an essential component of the Wnt/beta catenin signalling pathway where it is believed to act as a co-receptor with Frizzled for Wnt. It is a specific high affinity receptor for DKK1 and DKK2.
LRP6 is implicated in a wide range of normal and disease processes connected with lipid metabolism. It is co-expressed with LDR5 during embryogenesis and in adult tissues.
Defects in LRP6 cause autosomal dominant coronary artery disease type 2.

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.
Immunohistology
This product does not require protein digestion pre-treatment of paraffin sections. This product does not require antigen retrieval using heat treatment prior to staining of paraffin sections.
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 LRP6 was raised by repeated immunisation of goats with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
