    β-dystroglycan Antibody (56) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2a antibody that detects β-dystroglycan in human samples through western blotting (WB) and immunoprecipitation (IP) applications. β-dystroglycan plays a crucial role in the formation of the dystrophin-associated protein complex, which is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of muscle cells. β-dystroglycan is primarily located at the sarcolemma, where β-dystroglycan interacts with dystrophin and other associated proteins to provide mechanical stability during muscle contraction. Proper functioning of β-dystroglycan is vital for muscle health, as mutations or disruptions in β-dystroglycan expression can lead to various muscular dystrophies and other neuromuscular disorders. Additionally, β-dystroglycan is involved in the clustering of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, which is critical for effective synaptic transmission and muscle activation. Anti-β-dystroglycan antibody (56) enables researchers to gain valuable insights into β-dystroglycan′s role in muscle physiology and pathology, making anti-β-dystroglycan antibody (56) an indispensable tool for studies focused on muscle-related diseases.

    Does this antibody (β-dystroglycan Antibody (56): sc-135891) recognize native or only denature beta-dystroglycan on Western blot, or it can be used for frozen section immunofluorescent staining or non-denature cell lysate for immunoprecipitation? Thanks

    Asked by: John63
    Thank you for your question. Based on our tests with this antibody we do not recommend it for immunofluorescence. It has been shown to work well in SDS-PAGE western blots and IP.

    I am using β-dystroglycan (56): sc-135891 antibody for immunoprecipitation, how much antibody should I use?

    Asked by: Randy McDonald
    Thank you for your question. We recommend using 1–10 µl (i.e., 0.2–2 µg) of antibody with 1 ml of cell lysate. However, optimal antibody concentration should be determined by titration.
