TCTEX1D1 Antibody

TCTEX1D1 Antibody: Dyneins are multi-subunit, high molecular weight ATPases that interact with microtubules to generate force by converting the chemical energy of ATP into the mechanical energy of movement. Cytoplasmic or axonemal Dynein is an approximately 12 subunit complex of two heavy chains, two intermediate chains to anchor Dynein to its cargo, four smaller intermediate chains and several light chains. It performs functions necessary for cell survival such as organelle transport and centrosome assembly. TCTEX1 is a cytoplasmic dynein light chain found in a complex with Na+ CP type X (SCN10A) . TCTEX1D1, also called TCTEX1 domain containing 1, belongs to the dynein light chain TCTEX-type family. Its function is still under investigation.

TCTEX1D1 antibody can be stored at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.

At least three isoforms are known to exist; this antibody will detect the two largest isoforms. TCTEX1D1 is predicted to not cross-react with other members of the TCTEX-type family.
