Anti-Pin1 (Peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans Isomerase NIMA-interacting 1)

PIN1 is an essential peptidyl-prolyl isomerase that regulates mitosis, presumably by interacting with NIMA and attenuating its mitosis-promoting activity. It displays a preference for an acidic residue N-terminal to the isomerized proline bond. It catalyzes pSer/Thr-Pro cis/trans isomerizations. PIN1 has been implicated in tau pathologies that underlie Alzheimer's disease. PIN1 binds to tau-phosphorylated sites, specifically on the Thr231-Pro site, where it induces conformational changes. PIN1 may be pivotal in maintaining normal neuronal function and preventing age-dependent neurodegeneration. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 0.05-0.2ug/ml, Western Blot: 0.5-1ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°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.
