| Molecular Weight (kDa) | 70-80 nonmuscle, 120-150 smooth muscle |
| Source/Isotype | Rabbit IgG |
| Application/Dilution | {Western Blotting: 1:1000, Immunoprecipitation: 1:50, Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry): 1:200} |
| Storage | Supplied in 10 mm sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mm NaCl, 100 µg/mL BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. |
| Specificity/Sensitivity | Caldesmon-1 (D5C8D) XP® Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total caldesmon-1 protein. Based on sequence homology, the antibody is expected to cross-react with both the smooth muscle and nonmuscle isoforms. |
| Species Reactivity | Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey |
| Source/Purification | Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human caldesmon-1 protein. |
| Background | Caldesmon-1 is an actin filament stabilizing protein involved in the regulation of cell contraction. Binding of caldesmon-1 to actin is weakened by phosphorylation and by calmodulin in the presence of calcium. Caldesmon-1 is encoded by a single gene, which is spliced to generate a widely distributed low molecular weight form and a smooth muscle specific high molecular weight form (1,2). Caldesmon-1 is phosphorylated by the cyclin dependent kinase cdc2 and Erk1/2 MAP kinase, both of which prevent the activity of caldesmon-1 (3-5). Phosphorylation of caldesmon-1 by cdc2 is required for passage of cells through mitosis (6). Phosphorylation by Erk1/2 is important in regulating smooth muscle contraction (7). Caldesmon-1 activity may play a role in the formation of podosomes, adhesion complexes associated with the secretion of matrix metalloproteases, invasion, and metastasis (reviewed in 5). |
