epitope mapping at the N-terminus of Calgizzarin of human origin
recommended for detection of Calgizzarin of mouse, rat and human origin by WB, IF and ELISA; also reactive with additional species, including equine, canine, bovine and avian
Calgizzarin Background Information Calgizzarin is a Ca2+-binding protein of the S100 family. The proteins comprising the S-100 protein family have two EF-hand structures per molecule of protein. Expression of these family members occurs primarily in neurons or retinal photoreceptor cells, and may also be involved in a wide variety of cellular functions including cell growth, cell-cell communication, energy metabolism and intracellular signal transduction. They have also been linked to various pathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and cancer. Calgizzarin is highly expressed in lung tissue and is also expressed in kidney, liver, brain, heart and smooth muscle. It is an important androgen-responsive protein produced by Sertoli cells and might play a role in spermatogenesis regulation.
