Description
Product Usage Information
Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized): 1:50
Storage
Supplied in PBS (pH 7.2), less than 0.1% sodium azide, and 2 mg/mL BSA. Store at 4°C. Do not aliquot the antibody. Protect from light. Do not freeze.
Protocol
Available protocols: Flow Cytometry (Fixed/Permeabilized)
Specificity / Sensitivity
Calreticulin (D3E6) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (mFluor™ Red 780 Conjugate) recognizes endogenous levels of total calreticulin protein. Under conditions such as immunogenic cell death when calreticulin is presented on the cell surface, this antibody conjugate can be used to detect calreticulin on live cells.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human calreticulin protein.
Background
Calcium is a universal signaling molecule involved in many cellular functions, such as cell motility, metabolism, protein modification, protein folding, and apoptosis. Calcium is stored in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is buffered by calcium-binding chaperones, such as calnexin and calreticulin, and is released via the IP receptor channel (1). Calreticulin also functions as an ER chaperone that ensures proper folding and quality control of newly synthesized glycoproteins. As such, calreticulin presumably does not alter protein folding but regulates proper timing for efficient folding and subunit assembly. Furthermore, calreticulin retains proteins in non-native conformation within the ER and targets them for degradation (2,3).
