Calreticulin is a calcium binding protein found in abundance in the endoplasmic reticulum and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Like many other ER proteins, it has the conserved ER retention KDEL (Lys-Asp-Glu-Leu) sequence at its C-terminus. Calreticulin has also been detected in the nucleus and nuclear envelop. Recent studies sμggest that this soluble ER protein has a multifunctional role as it appears to be involved in calcium storage and regulation as well as having a molecular chaperone activity. Studies also sμggest its involvement in certain autoimmune diseases. Consistence with its multiple functions the calreticulin molecule appears to have a zonal character. The protein has both high and low affinity calcium binding sites.

The antibody solution should be gently mixed before use.

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.

If you buy Antibodies supplied by Biovision they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.
