Anti-Nicastrin, Central region Antibody

Nicastrin, a type 1 membrane glycoprotein, is an essential component of the gamma secretase complex which is critical for the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein and other membrane proteins. Nicastrin is widely expressed in different tissue types. This antibody reacts with immature forms of Nicastrin. Detection of higher mol. wt. mature forms is likely to be blocked by glycosylation in this region of the protein.

Our Anti-Nicastrin, Central region rabbit polyclonal primary antibody detects human Nicastrin, Central region, and is IgG. It is validated for use in ICC, WB.

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