RIMs are Rab3 effector proteins of the cytomatrix at the active zone
Guinea pig polyclonal purified antibody
Cat. No.: 140 005
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $465.00
Cat. No. 140 005 50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!
Applications
 
WB: 1 : 1000 (AP staining) gallery  
IP: not tested yet
ICC: 1 : 500 gallery  
IHC: external data (see remarks) gallery  
IHC-P: not recommended

Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to AA 596 to 705 from rat Rim1 (UniProt Id: Q9JIR4)
Reactivity Reacts with: rat (Q9JIR4), mouse (Q99NE5).
Other species not tested yet.
Specificity Specific for RIM 1 with weak cross reactivity to RIM 2.
Remarks

IHC: This antibody has been successfully applied for this method by our customers using antigen retrieval with pepsin according to Lorincz and Nusser 2010 (see gallery). It has not been validated using our standard protocol.

Background

RIMs are presynaptic active zone proteins that regulate Ca2+ triggered release of neurotransmitters. RIM 1α and RIM 2α are composed of an N-terminal zinc-finger domain, a central PDZ domain and two C-terminal C2 domains that are seperated by long alternatively spliced sequences.
RIM 1α is a putative Rab 3a effector and has been shown to interact with other active zone proteins like Munc13-1, ERC 1b, ERC 2 and α-liprins. Deletion of RIM 1α in mice impaired neurotransmitter release without changing the structure of the synapse.
