Tubulin polymerization-promoting protein (TPPP) is an unfolded brain-specific protein that interacts with the tubulin/microtubule system, and is enriched in human pathological brain inclusions (1).TPPP can induce aggregation of alpha-synuclein, and can accumulate in
oligodendroglial cell bodies containing fibrillized alpha- synuclein multiple system atrophy (MSA), a neurodegenerative disease.TPPP is a constituent of myelin and a high-affinity ligand for myelin basic protein (MBP), and has been shown to colocalize with MBP in myelin in normal
human brains (2).
Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Flow Cytometry: 1:50
Western Blot: 1:500-1:1000
Immunohistochemistry: 1:250-1:500
Immunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:250
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.
