BASP1 Antibody: FITC (OABF01876-FITC)

Neuronal axonal membrane protein Nap-22, also designated neuronal tissue-enriched acidic protein or brain acid soluble protein (BASP1), is a Ca2+-dependent calmodulin-binding protein that is important for neuronal sprouting and plasticity. Nap-22 is abundant in brain nerve terminals and is also present in significant amounts in kidney, testis and lymphoid tissue. Nap-22 undergoes N-terminal myristoylation for membrane localization. It has been characterized as a major protein of neuronal rafts, which are known to preferentially bind membranes containing cholesterol. Nap-22 is a crucial protein active in neurite outgrowth and synaptic plasticity.

All conjugated antibodies should be stored in light-protected vials or covered with a light protecting material (i.e. aluminum foil) . Conjugated antibodies are stable for at least 12 months at 4C. If longer storage is desired (24 months), conjugates may be diluted with up to 50% glycerol and stored at -20C to -80C. Freezing and thawing conjugated antibodies will compromise enzyme activity as well as antibody binding.
