    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Cyclophilin B Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total cyclophilin B protein. This antibody does not cross-react with cyclophilin A protein.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

    The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.

    Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

    Xenopus, Dog, Pig, Horse

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human cyclophilin B protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Cyclophilin B (CyPB) is an ER-localized chaperone protein belonging to the family of peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerases (PPIases) (1,2). Research studies have demonstrated that CyPB associates with type I procollagen and is involved in its sorting and transport through the secretory compartment (3). Mutations in the gene encoding CyPB, PPIB, lead to aberrant biosynthesis of type I procollagen, which underlies the pathogenesis of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a disorder characterized by bone fragility (4-7). In additional to its role in OI, research studies demonstrate that CyPB overexpression supports the expression of multiple oncogenic drivers of glioblastoma multiforme (8).
