DRP-4 belongs to the hydantoinase/dihydropyrimidase subfamily. It is required for signalling by class 3 semaphorins and remodelling of the cytoskeleton. It also plays a role in axon guidance, neuronal growth cone collapse and cell migration. It exists as homotetramer and a heterotetramer. Antibodies against post-translationally modified DPR-4 are present in sera from patients with paraneoplastic neurological diseases.
Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilutions:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 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.
