Calculated MW | 36 KDa |
Gene ID | 12300 |
---|---|
Gene Name | CACNG2 |
Other Names | Voltage-dependent calcium channel gamma-2 subunit, Neuronal voltage-gated calcium channel gamma-2 subunit, Stargazin, Transmembrane AMPAR regulatory protein gamma-2, TARP gamma-2, Cacng2, Stg |
Target/Specificity | Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues from the C-terminal region conjugated to KLH. |
Dilution | WB~~ 1:1000 |
Format | Prepared from rabbit serum by affinity purification via chromatography on an affinity column to which the C-terminal peptide used as immunogen was coupled. |
Antibody Specificity | Specific for the ~36k stargazin protein. Immunolabeling of the stargazinband is blocked by preadsorption with the peptide used as antigen. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | Stargazin Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Shipping | Blue Ice |

Background
Stargazin is a member of the transmembrane AMPAR regulatory proteins (TARP) family and is involved in glut amate receptor trafficking. It has been recently demonstrated (Tomita et al., 2005; Priel et al., 2005) that the interaction between stargazin and AMPA receptors is critical for the correct localization of the receptors at the synapse. Phosphorylation of the stargazin protein at Thr 321 by Protein Kinase A regulates its interaction with PSD-95 and synaptic targeting of AMPA receptors (Choi et al., 2002).
