Mammalian Degenerin 1 (MDGE1, ASIC2, BNaC1)

For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for at least 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.

Rat control peptide is 95% conserved in human MDEG1/BNaC1/BNA1. No significant sequence homology is detected with other ASICs. Control peptide, because of its low MW (<3kD), is not suitable for Western. It should be used for ELISA or antibody blocking to confirm antibody specificity.
