Anti-Talin (TLN, Talin-1, TLN1, ILWEQ, KIAA1027)

This gene encodes a cytoskeletal protein that is concentrated in areas of cell-substratum and cell-cell contacts. The encoded protein plays a significant role in the assembly of actin filaments and in spreading and migration of various cell types, including fibroblasts and osteoclasts. It codistributes with integrins in the cell surface membrane in order to assist in the attachment of adherent cells to extracellular matrices and of lymphocytes to other cells. The N-terminus of this protein contains elements for localization to cell-extracellular matrix junctions. The C-terminus contains binding sites for proteins such as beta-1-integrin, actin, and vinculin. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested. , Recommended Dilutions: Peptide ELISA Titer: 1:8000, Western Blot: 1-3ug/ml detects a >250kD band observed in Human Peripheral Mononucleocyte lysates (calculated MW of 270kD according to NP_006280.3)., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
