Immunogen: Calnexin-NT Antibody was produced from whole rabbit serum prepared by repeated immunizations with a 19 residue synthetic peptide of dog calnexin.
Physical State: Liquid (sterile filtered)
Purity and Specificity: Anti-Calnexin -NT Antibody was prepared from monospecific antiserum by delipidation and defibrination. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Calnexin -NT from Human, Mouse, Rat, Bovine, Chicken, Dog, Guinea Pig, Hamster, Pig, Monkey, Rabbit, Sheep, and Xenopus based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with Calnexin -NT from other sources has not been determined. Cell Signaling and Organelle Marker research.
Background: Calnexin, an abundant ~90kDa integral protein of the endoplasmic reticulum, is also referred to as IP90, p88 and p90. It consists of a large 50kDa N-terminal calcium-binding luminal domain, a single transmembrane helix and a short acidic cytoplasmic tail. Unlike its ER counterparts which have a KDEL sequence on their C-terminus to ensure ER retention, calnexin has positively charged cytosolic residues that do the same thing. Most ER proteins act as molecular chaperones and participate in the proper folding of polypeptides and their assembly into multi-subunit proteins. Calnexin together with calreticulin, plays a key role in glycoprotein folding and its control within the ER, by interacting with folding intermediates via their monoglycosylated glycans. Calnexin has also been shown to associate with the major histocompatibility complex class I heavy chains, partial complexes of the T cell receptor and B cell membrane immunoglobulin.
