anti-BACE2C Antibody (CT)

BACE2C

BACE2; AEPLC; ALP56; ASP21; Beta-secretase 2; Aspartic-like protease 56 kDa; Aspartyl protease 1; Beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 2; Down region aspartic protease; Memapsin-1; Membrane-associated aspartic protease 1; Theta-secretase

Accumulation of the amyloid-beta (Abeta) plaque in the cerebral cortex is a critical event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Abeta peptide is generated by proteolytic cleavage of the beta-amyloid protein precursor (APP) at beta- and gamma-sites by proteases. The long-sought beta-secretase was recently identified by several groups independently and designated beta-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE) and aspartyl protease 2 (Asp2). A BACE homolog was recently cloned and designated BACE2, Asp1, DRAP (for Down region aspartic protease), and memapsin 1. BACE2 also cleaves APP at beta-site and at a different site within Abeta. BACE2 locates on chromosome 21q22.3, the so-called 'Down critical region', suggesting that BACE2 and Abeta may also contribute to the pathogenesis of Down syndrome.

Rabbit

This BACE2C antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 310-339 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human BACE2C.

N/A

Liquid

100 µl of antibody in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide

This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS.

Western blot, IHC

Western blot: ~1:1000, IHC: ~1:50-1:100.

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.
