Anti-RAPSN, CT (43 kDa Receptor-associated Protein of the Synapse, RAPsyn, 43 kDa Postsynaptic Prote

Rapsyn (receptor-associated protein of the synapse) is a peripheral membrane protein that has a close association to acetylcholine receptors (AChRs). Studies have shown that mice with a mutated rapsyn gene were unable to form AChR clusters, resulting in birth from respiratory failure death soon after. Other mutations affecting the activity of rapsyn can lead to the formation of the neuromuscular disease myasthenia gravis. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 1ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded): 10-20ug/ml , Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
