Protocol
Available protocols: Immunofluorescence (Frozen)
Specificity / Sensitivity
PSD95 (D27E11) Feline Chimeric Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total PSD95 protein.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
Source / Purification
This recombinant chimeric antibody is engineered from PSD95 (D27E11) XP Rabbit mAb #3450 according to animal-free protocols. The chimeric antibody retains its antigen-binding Fab regions from the original rabbit monoclonal antibody but contains a feline-derived Fc domain. When multiplexing, Fc-directed rabbit secondaries are required to detect rabbit-host primary antibodies. The parent antibody, PSD95 (D27E11) XP Rabbit mAb #3450, is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Gln53 of human PSD95 protein.
Background
Postsynaptic Density protein 95 (PSD95) is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family of proteins. These family members consist of an amino-terminal variable segment followed by three PDZ domains, an SH3 domain, and an inactive guanylate kinase (GK) domain. PSD95 is a scaffolding protein involved in the assembly and function of the postsynaptic density complex (1-2). PSD95 participates in synaptic targeting of AMPA receptors through an indirect manner involving stargazin and related transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins (TARPs) (3). It is implicated in experience-dependent plasticity and plays an indispensable role in learning (4). Mutations in PSD95 are associated with autism (5).
