Other Names | 56149 |
Purity | This affinity purified antibody is directed against mouse Tamalin protein. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross-reactivity with Tamalin protein from rat based on a 94% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known. |
Storage Condition | Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. |
Precautions Note | This product is for research use only and is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |

Background
This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Tamalin, also named General receptor for phosphoinositides 1-associated scaffold protein (GRASP) is a PDZ (post-synaptic density protein/Drosophila disc large tumor suppressor/zo-1) domain-containing protein that interacts with group 1 metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). The PDZ domain-containing amino-terminal half of Tamalin binds directly to the class I PDZ-binding motif of group 1 mGluRs. The carboxyl-terminal half of Tamalin binds to cytohesins, which are guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) specific for the ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) family of small GTP-binding proteins. Tamalin forms a protein complex with group 1 mGluRs at the post-synaptic site of specific neuronal cells and serves as a key scaffold protein that links a complex formation between mGluR1a and cytohesins. It is reported that Tamalin plays a key role in the association of group 1 mGluRs with the ARF-specific GEF proteins and contributes to intracellular trafficking and the macromolecular organization of group 1 mGluRs at synapses.
