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 | |
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. |

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.
