αC-crystallin Antibody (PL-A11) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects αC-crystallin in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). αC-crystallin plays a crucial role in maintaining lens transparency and protecting against protein aggregation, which is vital for proper visual function. αC-crystallin is primarily located in the eye lens, where αC-crystallin helps to stabilize the structure of other crystallins and prevent their denaturation under stress conditions, such as heat. The unique structural features of αC-crystallin, including the ability to form large oligomeric complexes, allow αC-crystallin to function effectively as a molecular chaperone, although αC-crystallin does not renature denatured proteins. Additionally, αC-crystallin interacts with membrane proteins, specifically at the polar-apolar interface, which can influence the mobility of the lipid bilayer, thereby contributing to the overall integrity and functionality of lens cells. With diverse applications and significant biological role, anti-αC-crystallin antibody (PL-A11) serves as an essential tool for researchers studying eye health and related disorders.
