ChT antibody - 216 008

ChT is a high affinity choline transporter
Rabbit monoclonal recombinant IgG
Cat. No.: 216 008
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $420.00
Cat. No. 216 008 50 µg purified recombinant IgG, lyophilized. 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) (see remarks) gallery  
IP: yes
ICC: not tested yet
IHC: 1 : 500 gallery  
IHC-P: 1 : 100 (see remarks) gallery  

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.

Clone Rb62-2E8
Subtype IgG1 (κ light chain)
Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to residues near the C-terminus of rat ChT (UniProt Id: Q9JMD7)
Reactivity Reacts with: mouse (Q8BGY9), rat (Q9JMD7), monkey.
Other species not tested yet.
Remarks

This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the monoclonal mouse antibody 62-2E8. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced with rabbit specific sequences. This antibody can therefore be used with standard anti-rabbit secondary reagents. The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells.
WB: ChT aggregates after boiling, making it necessary to run SDS-PAGE with non-boiled samples.
IHC-P: Not recommended for rat tissue. Unspecific nuclear signal has been observed using our standard IHC-P protocol.

Background

Acetylcholine (ACh) functions as a neurotransmitter in both the central and peripheral nervous systems of all vertebrates, and is the principal neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction. This neurotransmitter is synthesized from choline (Ch) and acetyl-coenzyme A by choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). For this pathway choline is required, which neurons acquire through high-affinity choline transporters (ChTs). ChT have been found on the presynaptic membrane but also on ACh containing synaptic vesicles.
