Nicastrin, Central region Antibody

A synthetic peptide (C-QGETFDYIGSSRMVYD) corresponding to human Nicastrin [331-346] in the central region conjugated via additional N-terminal Cys to Diphtheria toxoid.

Human or mouse brain samples commonly prepared with reducing (50 mM DTT), urea (2.3 M), SDS (1.5%) in 62.5 mM Tris-HCL pH 6.8 sample buffer (without boiling) heating to 50 C for 15 min. Unprocessed full length human Nicastrin is 709 amino acids, however this protein contains an N-terminal signal peptide which is considered to undergo cleavage during processing and transit to the cell plasma membrane, in addition the protein undergoes glycosylation to produce a glycoprotein of about 145 kDa apparent MW by SDS PAGE.
