Carbonic Anhydrase VI (CA6), also known as gustin and salivary carbonic anhydrase, is a secreted zinc metalloenzyme that is a major protein component of parotid saliva and milk. It carries out a mucosal protective function by regulating pH balance in the upper alimentary and respiratory tracts.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and ELISA. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Intracellular Flow Cytometry: 25ug/ml; 10ul of the diluted solution labels 1-5x10e5 OVCAR-3 cells in a total reaction volume (same/less than) 200ul. For intracellular staining, cells must first be fixed and permeabilized using PBS, 4% paraformaldehyde, 0.1% saponin.
Direct ELISA: 0.5-1.0ug/ml. The detection limit is ~1ng/well.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C. Stable for 12 months at -20 degrees C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. 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. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
