Na,K-ATPase is an integral membrane protein complex that hydrolyzes ATP to maintain the transmembrane gradients of Na+ and K+ found in most mammalian cells. The enzyme is comprised of an alpha and beta subunit. The alpha-polypeptide has been shown to be the catalytically active subunit, whereas the beta-polypeptide appears to be necessary for the assembly and transport of the sodium pump to the plasma membrane. Na,K-ATPase a1 subunit, in brain, is expressed in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:100-1:500
ELISA: 1:1,000-1:6,000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O, sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
