HCA091 recognises rat contactin-associated protein 1 (Caspr1), also known as neurexin 4 and paranodin, which is a 190kD axonal transmembrane molecule. Caspr1 is a primarily expressed in myelinated nerves of the central and peripheral nervous system. It is a constituent of paranodal regions flanking the nodes of Ranvier and is believed to play an important role in paranodal junction formation.

Product Form
A bivalent human recombinant Fab selected from the HuCAL® GOLD phage display library, expressed inE. coli.This Fab fragment is dimerized via a helix-turn-helix motif. The antibody is tagged with a myc-tag (EQKLISEEDL) and a his-tag (HHHHHH) at the C-terminus of the antibody heavy chain. This antibody is supplied lyophilised.
Storage
Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution 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.
