Anti - CNG4 (Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channels 4, b-Subunit)

May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze 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.

The 24 AA rat control peptide is 100% conserved in alternatively spliced rat b-subunits (1339 aa & 858 aa) and 66% in human b-subunits (1251 aa, RCNC2a 623 aa, 1245 b1 and RCNC2b 909 aa). No significant sequence homology is detected with other CNGs. The control peptide, because of small size (MW 2.65kD), is not suitable for Western. It should be used for ELISA and antibody blocking to confirm specificity of antibodies
