anti-VASP Antibody

VASP

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein

Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) belongs to the Ena/VASP family of adaptor proteins linking the cytoskeletal system to the signal transduction pathways. VASP functions in cytoskeletal organization, fibroblast migration, platelet activation and axon guidance. Three phosphorylation sites, Ser157, Ser239 and Thr278, have been identified. Evidence sμggests that VASP phosphorylation reduces its association with actin and has a negative effect on actin polymerization.

Human, mouse, rat

Synthetic peptide surrounding amino acid 371 of human VASP

0.5 mg/ml

Liquid

100 µg (0.5 mg/ml) affinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody in 1X phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.2, containing 30% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.01% thimerosal.

Affinity purified

Western blot, Immunohistochemistry

Western blotting (0.5-4 µg/ml) and Immunohistochemistry (5 µg/ml). However, the optimal conditions should be determined individually. Other applications have not been determined. The antibody recognizes ~46 kDa VASP from samples of human, mouse, and rat origins. Reactivity to other species has not been tested.

Shelf time: 12 months in temp.: -20 deg.C

gel pack

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.
