The developmentally-regulated neuron-specific protein, Drebrin A, is expressed first at the time of outgrowth and maturation of dendrites, and is localized within dendrites of the adult brain. Drebrin E+A- signals have been observed in the cell bodies of migrating neuroblasts in the core region; however, only fibrous and punctate drebrin E+A- signals were observed in postmigratory neuroblasts at the outer layers. Studies have demonstrated that the disappearance of drebrin E+A- signals from the cell body coincides with the cessation of neuronal migration. The disappearance of drebrin E from the cell body may be a molecular switch for the cessation of migration in newly generated neuroblast.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:5000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:
Embryonic rat brain (day 16) tissue lysate.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, 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.
