RIM1 protein - 140-02P

RIMs are Rab3 effector proteins of the cytomatrix at the active zone
control protein
Cat. No.: 140-02P
Amount: 100 µg
Price: $105.00
Cat. No. 140-02P 100 µg protein, lyophilized. For reconstitution add 100 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in TBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Control proteins should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!
Applications
 
Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to AA 955 to 1056 from rat Rim1 (UniProt Id: Q9JIR4)
Recommended dilution Optimal concentrations should be determined by the end-user.
Matching antibodies 140 023
Remarks

This control protein consists of the recombinant protein (aa 955 - 1056 of rat RIM 1) that has been used for immunization. It has been tested in preadsorption experiments and blocks efficiently and specifically the corresponding signal in Western blots. The amount of protein needed for efficient blocking depends on the titer and on the affinity of the antibody to the antigen.

Background

RIMs are presynaptic active zone proteins that regulate Ca2+ triggered release of neurotransmitters. RIM 1α and RIM 2α are composed of an N-terminal zinc-finger domain, a central PDZ domain and two C-terminal C2 domains that are seperated by long alternatively spliced sequences.
RIM 1α is a putative Rab 3a effector and has been shown to interact with other active zone proteins like Munc13-1, ERC 1b, ERC 2 and α-liprins. Deletion of RIM 1α in mice impaired neurotransmitter release without changing the structure of the synapse.
